A repatriation ceremony for the body of a British soldier killed in Afghanistan has been delayed.

Private Martin Bell died in a blast from an improvised explosive device (IED) in Helmand province.

His cortege is expected to arrive at the John Radcliffe Hospital at 3.45pm on Thursday, an hour later than previously announced.

Royal British Legion members will pay tribute.

Private Bell, 24, from 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, was the 350th member of the armed forces to be killed in Afghanistan since 2001.
