About 50 soldiers of the Royal Artillery marched in Oakham Rutland after serving six months in Afghanistan.

The soldiers, based at St George's Barracks, North Luffenham, were joined by the Band of the Ghurkhas.
The regiment, which provides low level air defence, is the only Rapier Regiment in the British forces.

The troops then made their way to Oakham Castle where more than 20 servicemen and women were presented with their Operation Herrick campaign medals by Dr Howard. The Lord Lieutenant of Rutland

 the Chairman of Rutland County Council and the Mayor of Oakham were also present along with Chief Executive Briggs and Conservative Leader Roger Begy. The High Sheriff was also present.

The rain stayed away.
