Public honour for repatriated men

Thousands of people have turned out to pay their last respects to the soldiers who died in the British Army's worst day in Afghanistan.

The bodies of eight men who were killed last week were flown into RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire, and then driven through the nearby town of Wootton Bassett.

Caroline Wyatt reports.
