Nikki Scott, who lost her husband Lee in 2009, said she is horrified 400 soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan.

She said every death means another family has been affected by the war but added that the servicemen and women in Afghanistan need to say out there and "finish the job".

After her husband's death, Nikki Scott started a charity that organises trips and activities for children "orphaned" by war, like her five-year-old son Kai.
