Corporal Daniel Ginty, 26, from WGC, was one of three squaddies who were killed when their Skoda Fabia skidded off a country road and through a brick wall in Pembrokeshire.

The group had been watching the Six Nations clash between Wales and England on Saturday, February 14.

Daniel, who served on the frontline in both Iraq and Afghanistan, was a keen rugby fan and played for Welwyn RFC.

A minute's silence was held at the club's game against Westcliff on Saturday.

This will be followed by a service at Harwood Park Crematorium in Watton Road, Knebworth.
