Friends and family of a Welsh soldier killed in Afghanistan have gathered for a memorial football match in his honour.

Captain Stephen Healey, who served with 1st Batallion the Royal Welsh, was killed in May while on patrol in Helmand Province.

The match in Cardiff also helped raise money for the 29-year-old's charity of choice, Blind Veterans UK - as Dean Thomas reports.
