Defence Secretary Philip Hammond
State-of-the-art RAF Typhoon fighter jets loaded with fearsome weapons patrolling the skies over the Home Counties;
A ring of six surface-to-air missile sites around London, each with the power to bring down rogue aircraft;
The aircraft carrier HMS Ocean will be moored in the Thames with 800 Royal Marines;
Seven Royal Navy Lynx and RAF Puma helicopters carrying crack snipers to target terrorists;
HMS Bulwark, the Royal Navy's 21,000-tonne flagship, and other vessels deployed off Weymouth, Dorset, to protect sailing events;
And 13,500 servicemen and women - more than are deployed in Afghanistan - on duty to keep the £9billion Olympics safe and secure.
