Have a look at Sawflies for the second one. Possibly Sirex juvencus female for the second one. The first one could possibly be a male but I wouldn't put any money on that. Alternatively that one may be an Ichneumon but offhand I can't match up the leg and abdomen colours.
Just ideas, don't take me too seriously. |

I would go for both being ichneumons. The first one has that pale band on the antenna which may put is some where in the Protichneumon genus. Just a guess please don't take too seriously

Both are definitely Ichneumons. 
Not known what species though.

Naturegirl & Dogghound, many thanks for your help here! Geoff too, thanks. I'll see what I can find about that species, and add it as another possible.
Grats for all the help people!
