Brown's tribute to fallen soldiers

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has paid tribute to British servicemen who have died in Afghanistan

Mr Brown was speaking shortly before the arrival at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire of the bodies of six British soldiers, including five shot dead by a "rogue" Afghan policeman.

In his tribute, Mr Brown said: "Each life lost is an irreplaceable loss from a family. It reminds us of the stark human cost of armed conflict in the service of our society".
