Tributes have been paid to two British soldiers killed on the same day in Afghanistan.
Corporal Stephen Thompson, 31, from 1st Battalion The Rifles, died as a result of an explosion near Sangin district centre, Helmand province.
Lance Corporal Tom Keogh, 24, from 4th Battalion The Rifles, was killed by a gunshot wound during a firefight in Sangin.
Both men died on Sunday, the Ministry of Defence said.
The families said Cpl Reeve was a "courageous, selfless and loving son," and that L/Cpl Larkin was a "committed professional" with "loyalty, integrity and strength of character".
They said about L/Cpl Larkin: "Sadly his role as a devoted father will now be denied to his three young children as they face the future without him as a powerful role model and loving father."
