Britain's most senior counter-terrorism officer has resigned after making a security blunder which caused an anti-terror operation to be brought forward.

Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick was photographed revealing a secret document when he arrived for a Downing Street briefing on Wednesday.

London Mayor Boris Johnson said it was to Mr Quick's credit that he "swiftly recognised the seriousness of the lapse".
