Tributes have been paid to four British soldiers who died when their armoured vehicle crashed into a canal in Afghanistan.
Private Alex Isaac, Private Douglas Niall Halliday and Colour Sergeant Martyn Simon Horton, of 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment, and Lance Corporal David Andrew Ramsden, from 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, were killed in the accident on Wednesday night.
The men were travelling in a Ridgeback vehicle which came off the road and ended up in the Nahr-e Bughra canal near Gereshk in Helmand Province.
Colour Sergeant Horton, 34, was from Runcorn, Cheshire, and had one son.
His sister Caroline said: "Martyn lived for three things - family, Army and Liverpool. He loved fighting for his friends and family."
L/Cpl Ramsden, 26, from Leeds, had a twin sister Emma another called Zoey and two brothers, Matthew and Jeremy.
His siblings, along with parents Shirley and Eddie, said: "David lived life at 1,000mph. He was a normal young lad who would always cheer you up and often did things for a laugh. He loved socialising with his mates both in and out of the Army."
A string of tributes were paid to Pte Isaac, 20, from the Wirral, by members of his family.
His mother Annette said: "My beautiful darling son, who was a fighter and so brave, you will always be in my heart, my soul and my thoughts."
Pte Halliday, 20, from Wallasey, Merseyside, will be remembered for "his charm, the special times together and his humour", his family said.
