Emma Hickman Fiancee of Private Daniel Wade with daughter Lexie-Mai opens the Field of Remembrance at Lydiard Park Swindon.
Private Wade was killed when his armoured vehicle was hit by a IED in March, just a couple of months before the birth of his daughter Lexie-mai.
The latest soldier to be killed in Afghanistan Warrant Officer Class 2 (WO2) Ian Michael Fisher had a cross placed in his honour.
The Queens representative Wiltshire’s Lord Lieutenant Sarah Troughton led the parade of military and civilian dignitaries into the walled garden at Swindon’s Lydiard House.
On the lawn outside the house was a sea of poppies with messages.
