Hundreds of soldiers gathered at the main British base in Afghanistan to pay their respects to their fallen comrades.

During the ceremony in Lashkar Gah, Helmand, Padre Mark Christian, the senior chaplain of 11 Light Brigade, said the soldiers were there to commit themselves to "the cause of peace and justice throughout the world".

About 500 men and women from numerous regiments attended the ceremony at the compound in Lashkar Gah, where wreaths were laid and a one minute silence was held after a poignant last post.
