Mate frocks up for soldier's funeral

Friends comfort Barry Delaney at the Scottish funeral of his best friend, slain soldier Private Kevin Elliott IT WAS a pact that only a true friend would keep. Before one of them was sent to fight in Afghanistan for the British Army, they made a deal: If one of them died, the other had to wear a dress to the funeral. So when Barry Delaney turned up to the graveside funeral of best friend Private Kevin Elliott, he did so wearing a tight fluorescent dress, The Times reports. The green dress was matched with equally bright pink leg warmers and black hiking boots.
