ROYAL Marines from Norton Manor Camp-based 40 Commando will tomorrow receive their medals from the six-month Afghanistan campaign.

The Commandos are now home from the tour of duty, during which 14 of their colleagues died.

They are also taking part in a Homecoming Parade through the centre of Taunton on Wednesday, starting at 11am in Station Road.
