Tears at Afghanistan heroes’ return to UK

Tears ... family and friends grieve for lost soldiers

SOBBING mourners reach to touch a hearse as the bodies of two more heroes from Afghanistan are returned to the UK.

Corporal Channing Day, 25, of 3 Medical Regiment — the third woman soldier to be killed — was repatriated with Cpl David O’Connor, 27, of 40 Commando Royal Marines, as hundreds paid respects at Carterton, Oxon, yesterday.
The brave soldiers were killed in Helmand Province last Wednesday.
They came under fire as they travelled to conduct training with Afghan Local Police.
