Two Household Cavalry horses are in a serious condition after they threw off their riders and raced through London, the BBC understands.

Five horses were spooked by a loud noise in Belgravia and ran through the city, colliding with vehicles, including a double-decker bus and taxi.

It happened during a routine military exercise on Wednesday, the Army said.

Three soldiers and a member of the public needed hospital treatment.
