The cortege carrying two British servicemen who died last week in Afghanistan is expected to arrive in Oxford at 3pm today.

Royal British Legion members and local residents will line Headley Way, in Headington, to pay their respects as the bodies of Lance Corporal Shaw, 27, and fellow Yorkshire Regiment colleague Liam Riley, make their way to the John Radcliffe Hospital.

They had been expected to arrive at 2.30pm, but there are reports of a slight delay at RAF Lyneham, in Wiltshire.
