The bodies of two soldiers killed in Afghanistan last week will be brought to the John Radcliffe Hospital for post-mortem examinations today.

Lance Corporal Scott Hardy, 26, from Chelmsford in Essex, and Private James Grigg, 21, from Stradbroke in Suffolk, both serving in the 1st Battalion, the Royal Anglian Regiment, died last Tuesday near Musa Qalah.

The cortege from RAF Lyneham, in Wiltshire, is expected to arrive in Headley Way, Headington, at 3pm.
