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.

Its so sad, you spent all your time fighting for this country and as soon as you make it home, they take you away.
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Always in our hearts, a true solider lost
