The bodies of six soldiers killed in Afghanistan - including five who died when an Afghan policeman turned his gun on them - have returned to home.

Warrant Officer Class 1 Darren Chant, 40, Sergeant Matthew Telford, 37, and Guardsman Jimmy Major, 18, from the Grenadier Guards, died alongside Corporal Steven Boote, 22, and Corporal Nicholas Webster-Smith, 24, from the Royal Military Police.

They were shot dead by a "rogue" Afghan police officer at a secure checkpoint in Nad-e-Ali in Helmand Province on November 3 in an attack claimed by the Taliban.

Two days later, Serjeant Phillip Scott, 30, of 3rd Battalion The Rifles, was killed by an improvised explosive device near Sangin in Helmand.

The C-17 Globemaster transporting their coffins landed at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire just after 11am.

Their bodies are due to arrive at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford at 4.30pm, at the earliest.
