THE repatriation to Oxford of the bodies of two Army sappers killed in Afghanistan will take place later than expected tomorrow.
The bodies of Sapper Ishwor Gurung, of 69 Ghurka Field Squadron, 36 Engineer Regiment, and Sapper Darren Foster, of 21 Engineer Regiment, are being flown back to Britain from Afghanistan and were originally due arrive at the John Radcliffe Hospital at 3.15pm.
However, the Royal British Legion, which oversees the commemoration ceremonies held in Headley Way, Headington, at the entrance to the hospital, said today that the bodies were now expected to arrive at 5.30pm.
