Four British soldiers repatriated

The bodies of four British soldiers killed in Afghanistan last week have been flown home to the UK.

Sgt Simon Valentine died last Saturday. L/Cpl James Fullarton, Fusilier Simon Annis and Fusilier Louis Carter were all killed in an explosion on Sunday.

Their bodies were flown back to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire as the Ministry of Defence confirmed that two more British soldiers have been killed in an explosion in Helmand province.

Robert Hall reports.
