Over 1-4 June, the British contingent with ISAF, despite being thousands of miles from home, did its best to join in the celebrations being held to mark Her Majesty The Queen's Golden Jubilee.

At Kabul International Airport, five other national contingents joined off-duty Royal Air Force and Royal Engineer personnel in day-long festivities, including the chance to soak senior officers in stocks for charity - the money raised has gone to a trust fund for a British soldier badly injured by a land-mine during operations in Afghanistan. And on a hill high above Kabul, the youngest soldier and youngest airman serving with the British contingent lit a Jubilee beacon at sunset on 3 June, accompanied by a Piper.
