Tributes have been paid to a soldier from New Addington who was killed in a car crash four hours after returning home from six-months fighting in Iraq.

Lance Corporal Paul Knight was on his way to a party at his girlfriend's house in Wiltshire to celebrate his return from the war-torn country.

The Vauxhall Corsa car he was a passenger in collided with a Mercedes Vito taxi in heavy rain near Kiwi Barracks Bulford Camp at about 7.30pm last Wednesday.

He was killed instantly along with his colleague and best friend, 22-year-old Lance Corporal Nathan Long from Gloucester - who had returned from the Gulf six months earlier.
