THE bodies of five UK soldiers are to be repatriated through RAF Lyneham today.

The families of Private Lewis Hendry, of the third Battalion the Parachute Regiment and Private Conrad Lewis of the fourth Battalion the Parachute Regiment are among those who will attend a service at the RAF camp.

Three other soldiers, two of the Royal Logistics Corp and another of second Battalion the Parachute Regiment, are as yet unnamed.

The cortege is estimated to leave RAF Lyneham at around 4.30pm, passing through Wootton Bassett High Street before going on to John Ratcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
