The repatriation to the UK of four soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan last week has taken place today. The bodies of the four servicemen were flown to RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. Lieutenant David Boyce, Lance Corporal Richard Scanlon, Lance Corporal Peter Eustace and Private Thomas Lake were killed by explosions in Helmand province. After a private ceremony for their families at a purpose-built repatriation centre on the air base at Brize the cortege left and gas been escorted at walking pace past the memorial garden in Carterton, where the Union Flag hangs at half-mast. All four families have paid tribute, saying they were immensely proud of what the soldiers had achieved, living life to the full, and committing themselves fully to their army careers, and dying doing something they loved and believed in.
R.I.P soldiers. Thank you for your service, we will not forget.
