It's what the British Military do to perfection - honour the dead.

Welcome home.
May you all rest in peace.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
With respect.

Just a quiet word of thanks for the job done by all the service and civilian personnel involved with today's ceremony. You honoured our fallen comrades and upheld the bonds of service and courage.

I have just watched the full 35 minutes. As a father who lives in fear of his youngest son being flown home in a flag-draped coffin if this futile 'war' is allowed to continue, I found it very emotional.
I wonder if Mr Blair has watched this video? Did he shed a tear, as I did?

Glad to see the UK still allows the public to view repatriations broadcasted in a respectful manner unlike the US and now Canada. If the public are disturbed in any way by this, it should only be in realising what a massive sacrifice these people and their families have made.

Mark, Whilst yes it is shown nationwide and has been since the beginning of the Conflict there does seem to be a measured decline in its television time. Last nights BBC coverage of the event was less than 30 seconds or so whereas just a couple of years ago it was shown live on all the major channels.
Are we seeing a slow withdrawal of the fact, just like our cousins over the Atlantic?

Saddened by loss and BBC news coverage
I was very saddened to hear of the loss of 5 servicemen and woman, I can only hope there will be no more, but somehow I don't think so. Tony and his cronies should hang their heads in shame. So to should the BBC, their coverage in the evening was disgraceful. grc 925
