Two West Midlands soldiers killed in Afghanistan
Rifleman Joseph Murphy
Comrades said Cpl Horne, known as Jay, would be remembered as a hero.
The soldier, who previously served with the 1st Battalion, The Royal Green Jackets, had also been on operations in Iraq, where he was wounded in action, and Kosovo.
He leaves his wife Rachel, daughters Frankie and Jessica, as well as his parents and three brothers.
Mrs Horne said: A sad farewell to my wonderful husband who was a devoted father, husband and a loving son.
We will miss you more than words could ever describe.
You were the most caring, thoughtful, funniest, loving and generous person I have ever known.
Described by Lieutenant Colonel Rob Thomson as a popular rising star, Cpl Horne was tough, compassionate and full of infectious mirth, he added.
