Nine British soldiers who died in World War One have finally been laid to rest more than 100 years after their deaths.

Their bodies were discovered during engineering works in Belgium in 2018.

The men, including 20 year old Leslie Ablett from Streatham, were soldiers of the 11th Battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers.

The service was attended by family members of the seven of the nine  men who could be identified.
