Moving testimony to the British army's loss of life in Afghanistan
The promise I had to keep: to wear a dress at my fallen friend's funeral


Three years ago, they had agreed that Delaney would wear a dress – the brighter, the better – if Elliott was killed in a action. Their unusual covenant would be realised sooner than either could have expected; private Elliott died last month the victim of a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan.

A greater respect cannot be shown than to honor a promise.

That is a moving story of a bond between friends.

At Da's funeral five, well now six months ago she said she didn't want everyone to wear black at her funeral. So I and a couple of her kids wore vivid colors at her funeral. People kind of gave us funny looks. But the day is for them and to show your love for them.......

Good on this chap.

When I die I want a party to celebrate my life, not a dirge to mourn my passing. If it was legal I'd like a big bonfire to cremate me. That should be fun.

My mom's friend requested that everybody wear red and black to her funeral as she was a HUGE Georgia Bulldogs fan. Everybody honored her request.
