Friends and family members of Guardsman Jimmy Major look at his coffin as it passes during the funeral cortege of British soldiers in the streets of Wooton Bassett, Wiltshire on November 10, 2009. The bodies of six British troops killed in Afghanistan were flown home Tuesday, as Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologised to a dead soldier's mother for a botched condolence letter. The coffins of five men shot dead last week by an Afghan policeman they were training were flown to the RAF Lyneham airbase in southwest England, along with the body of a soldier blown up by a roadside bomb two days later.
