Tributes paid to killed soldiers
Tributes have been paid to four British soldiers who died on one of the bloodiest days for UK forces in Afghanistan.
Sergeant Ben Ross, from 173 Provost Company, 3rd Regiment, Royal Military Police, and Corporal Kumar Pun, from the 1st Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles, were killed by a suicide bomber during a patrol in Gereshk, in Helmand province, on Thursday.
Two others - Rifleman Adrian Sheldon, from 2nd Battalion The Rifles, and Corporal Sean Binnie, 22, from the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland - died in two separate incidents, bringing the number of UK service personnel killed in the country since operations began in 2001 to 157.
