And said loudly 'X has legs!' Because he's wearing shorts.
This man is a lot younger and quite self conscious about his accent so I wouldn't put him as a confident, bantery type. I'm really cross, but I don't know what if anything I can do. Should I raise it with our manager?
Se also said that his legs were white because he was English and that's how they should be. This was in response to him saying 'they are very white' but also seems a bit personal and also racist...?

Could you talk to him and let him know that you felt it was unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour, and ask if he would like anything to be done (ie going to line managers etc)?

She doesn't sound very nice and I would imagine personal remarks are considered unprofessional, aren't they?

I might check what he thinks before going to your manager. That way he knows you'll support him as it sounds like you want to.

I work in an environment where sexual harassment would be treated very seriously by the way.
