SOLDIERS back from Iraq said they "felt like superstars"

Even if you dont support the conflict's in Iraqistan,it's nice to see our lads have the support they deserve.




SOLDIERS back from Iraq said they "felt like superstars" after being given a five-minute standing ovation from 26,000 thousand fans at Ewood Park.

Twenty soldiers of Burma Company, 1st Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, were presented with service medals on the pitch at half-time on Saturday.

It comes after Lieutenant Colonel Gary Deakin, chief of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment 1st Battalion told the Lancashire Telegraph last year that his soldiers back from Iraq deserved more respect.
