Tributes to another hero 

Crowds gathered on the A420 outside the Shrivenham Defence Academy today as a mark of respect for Lance Sergeant Dave Greenhalgh.

 

The soldier was the latest casualty to be flown home and repatriated from Afghanistan.

 

Standing in silence: the cortege on the A420 passes by the Defence Academy

He died in an explosion while on vehicle patrol near Lashkar Gah in Helmand Province last Saturday.

 

L/Sgt Greenhalgh's body, and those of four fellow soldiers, passed through Wootton Bassett before they travelled to the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford.
