Ceremony honours 'Zulu' soldiers
The soldiers were honoured with a gun salute

Two Zulu princes were among the congregation on Sunday honouring the memory of two solidiers who fought in a battle made famous in the film Zulu.

The unmarked graves of Private Robert Tongue and Private Caleb Woods were recently discovered at a cemetery in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire.

They were among 130 British soldiers who fought in the battle of Rorke's Drift in South Africa in January 1879.

Special headstones were made for the soldiers, telling their story.
