Soldier deaths: Tribute at Abergavenny Armed Forces Day service

Two Army reservists who died during SAS selection training in the Brecon Beacons have been remembered at a church service.

L/Cpl Craig Roberts from Penrhyn Bay, Conwy, and a second soldier died last Saturday as temperatures soared to 30C on a 40-mile hike at the end of a four-week trial.

The annual Armed Forces Day service in Abergavenny - delayed from last month due to a clash of dates - included tributes to the men.

Rhodri Lewis spoke to the town's vicar, the Reverend Mark Soady, and the local Conservative MP David Davies.
