PEOPLE touched by the loss of the six soldiers in Afghanistan continued to leave tributes outside their barracks today.

Well-wishers met and left flowers at the entrance to the 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment's home at Battlesbury Barracks in Warminster, Wiltshire.

Private Antony Frampton, 20, Corporal Jake Hartley, 20, Pte Christopher Kershaw, 19, Pte Daniel Wade, 20, and Pte Daniel Wilford, 21, all of 3rd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment, and Sergeant Nigel Coupe, 33, of 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancasters Regiment were hit by a blast about 25 miles north of Helmands capital, Lashkar Gah, at 6.30pm local time (2pm UK time) on Tuesday.

Pte Frampton, Cpl Hartley and Pte Wilford were all from Huddersfield.

More than a dozen children from the local school, St Georges Catholic Primary, walked with their teacher to the barracks entrance.

One girl placed a bunch of flowers next to the other tributes and then rejoined her classmates as they then stood quietly and prayed.

The childrens tribute read: "Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless. From the staff and pupils of St Georges Catholic Primary School, Warminster."

Earlier, 13 civilian staff, who work at the barracks as cleaners, paid their respects to the dead soldiers.

They each left flowers and then held hands in a semi-circle as they stood in reflection for a minutes silence.

One woman fought back tears and was comforted by a colleague.

Floral tributes were being left by both service families and those with no connection to military life but who were touched by the tragic loss.

One bouquet said: "From one regimental family to another. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Rest in peace. The Warminster branch of the Royal Irish Rangers."

Another tribute said simply: "Stand easy - your duty is done. The world is safer."

Later, two members of 3rd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment placed framed pictures of the six men on a dark stained wooden plinth, which is acting as the focal point for tributes outside the soldiers' barracks in Warminster.

The first soldier placed photographs of Pte Kershaw, Sgt Coupe and Cpl Hartley on the plinth.

His colleague then placed photographs of Ptes Wade, Wilford and Frampton next those of their fallen comrades.

Both soldiers then saluted and marched away.
