Comrades, families and members of the public remembered five British soldiers killed in five bloody days of fighting in Afghanistan.
Hundreds of people turned out to pay their respects as the bodies of two of the men - including the highest ranking Army officer to die on operations since the Falklands - were returned to the UK.
Tributes were also paid to three soldiers killed in separate incidents in southern Helmand Province over the weekend.
