Former glam rock singer Gary Glitter has taken to the witness box to give evidence in his trial for a string of historic sex offences against young girls.

Dressed in a navy double-breasted gold-buttoned jacket, black T-shirt, dark glasses, and cream and black patterned scarf, the 70-year-old spoke clearly as he took the affirmation and set his fedora hat aside.
