Homecoming

In December 2007, Ian Sadler's worst fears were materialised, when his son Jack died while serving in Afghanistan.

Jack, 21, had always wanted to join the army, but his father warned him of the dangers - especially of the risks associated with Afghanistan.

Ian Sadler is 'fuming' over his son's death

Jack was in the Honourable Artillery Company in Helmand Province when the vehicle he was travelling in hit a landmine. He died of his injuries later.

His father, who lives in Exmouth, is angry about Jack's death: "I'm fuming," he said. "I'm drinking quite a lot, I never sleep past four in the morning - you have good days and bad days."

With homecoming parades and services taking place in Devon and across the UK, Ian says those who haven't made it back home shouldn't be forgotten.
