Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, was killed in a shooting

:00:27.:00:29.

brightly on all who knew him was extinguished

:01:08.:01:10.

on a tragic accident on the battlefield far

Lance Corporal Scott Hetherington had been in Iraq

He had only recently become a father to a daughter.

:01:21.:01:23.

He was training the Iraqis to fight Isis.

:01:24.:01:25.

He was full of joy and he was full of life.

It is terrible what's happened to him.

:01:29.:01:29.

It must have been a very, very difficult time for your family.

:01:30.:01:32.

A very friendly boy, or young man, I should say.

:01:33.:01:39.

He knew lots of people and was well-liked by them.

:01:40.:01:44.

A group of bikers rode to the event, just one of many fundraising

:01:45.:01:47.

The proceeds will go to support his young daughter.

Some clear spells in the mix as well.
