A gas turbine, including: axially adjacent first and second components each having a gas path facing surface within an engine casing, inter-component cavity located between first and second components on the gas path outboard side, an axial-restrictor within the inter component cavity for restricting movement of the first or second component relative to at least one other first and second component or engine casing, wherein the axial-restrictor is radially located in the engine casing or other first and second component and includes a radially facing surface; a retaining element, including a body having circumferential length extending around the gas turbine engine and axial length extending between axially adjacent first and second components when in use; an obstructing portion between the radially facing surface of the axial-restrictor and opposing second radial surface of the other first or second component or engine casing to restrict radial movement of in use axial-restrictor.
