Crowds honour dead soldiers

Hundreds of people have lined the streets as the bodies of four soldiers killed in Afghanistan were taken in a cortege through the town.

Rifleman Aminiasi Toge, 26, Cpl Joseph Etchells, 22, Capt Daniel Shepherd, 28, and Guardsman Christopher King, 20, died in separate incidents in Helmand province.

Their bodies were returned to RAF Lyneham, Wiltshire, where a service was held for relatives, before a cortege passed through nearby Wootton Bassett.
