A jury has been sworn in for the trial of Rolf Harris, who is accused of a string of indecent assaults.

The 84-year-old artist and entertainer arrived at London's Southwark crown court accompanied by his wife, Alwen, who looked on from the public gallery with other family members as he sat in the glass-walled dock.

Wearing a grey suit, pink shirt with blue stripes and a red and black tie, Harris, from Bray in Berkshire, listened to proceedings through a hearing loop.

A panel of 12 made up of six men and six women, along with three extras – two men and one woman – were chosen from a pool of more than 20 potential jurors.
