British soldiers repatriated

The bodies of four British soldiers killed in Afghanistan last week have been repatriated 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 and hundreds gathered in the streets of Wootton Bassett to pay their respects.

Robert Hall reports.
