The body of Wirral Territorial Army Corporal Steven Boote has been brought back to the UK.

His body was repatriated at RAF Lyneham, the hearse then travelling through the nearby village of Wootton Bassett where a large number of mourners had gathered to pay their last respects.

Cpl Boote was 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.

The 22-year-old Military Police officer from Birkenhead was among five British soldiers killed in the incident.

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

After a private repatriation ceremony for their families, hearses carrying their Union flag-draped coffins passed along the High Street of Wootton Bassett.

Crowds appeared along the route to pay their respects as they have since the bodies of British service personnel began being brought home through RAF Lyneham in 2007.

The procession was then to continue to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital.
