Coldstream Guards return from Helmand

Lance Sergeant James Clough smiles happily as his sons, Jordan-Lee, 8 and David-James, 10, try on their dads kit for size.

Friends and family were on hand to welcome home 120 soldiers from No. 1 Company, 1st Battalion The Coldstream Guards as they arrived at their Aldershot barracks this afternoon after a 6 month operational tour of Afghanistan.
