Other Post Memorial Motorcycle Ride

[Bombardier]

Today along with many hundreds of other Bikers I will be riding on a memorial Motorcycle ride in memory of a local lad who was killed in Iraq whilst serving our country.

It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence confirms the death of Lance Corporal Scott Hetherington, of 2nd Battalion The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, who died in Iraq on Monday 2 January 2017, following an incident at Camp Taji, north of Baghdad, in Iraq. He was a member of Blenheim Company and a Vehicle Commander in the Force Protection Platoon.

The family of Lance Corporal Hetherington said: “As Scott’s family we would like to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and support at this devastating time.

“Scott touched so many hearts and lives through the short time he was here. He was a crazy kid who grew into a wonderful young man any parent would be proud of.

“Thank you Scott and Savannah for our beautiful granddaughter Safaya rose, she is a piece of you who we love and cherish.

“We as a family accept it was a tragedy for all involved.

“Sleep tight baby boy x.”
