The president of the Royal British Legion, Lieutenant General Sir John Kiszely, has resigned over claims he was involved in defence contract lobbying.
Sir John said it was "inappropriate ... to remain as national president of the Legion" in a letter to John Farmer, the body's national chairman.
The former commander of the Scots Guards was one of several retired officers secretly filmed by a Sunday newspaper allegedly saying he could influence decision-making over arms deals.
