The family of a teenage soldier killed in Afghanistan will be reunited with their son today when the plane carrying his body touches down on British soil.
The body of Doncaster Rifleman Liam Maughan, 18, is being repatriated to RAF Lyneham, Wiltshire, before crowds gather on the streets of Wootton Bassett to pay their final respects.
New father Liam died from wounds as a result of small arms fire on Saturday before he met his son Jaden born only a few weeks ago. He had never seen a picture of his son.
Liam's family, including parents Andrea and David, of Hatfield, paid tribute to the hero.
