Saturday marks the 10th anniversary of the end of British combat operations in Afghanistan .

Pte Gregg Stone , 20 , was shot dead on a rescue mission in Helmand Province in June 2012 .

His mother, Angie Moore , feels Afghanistan is being forgotten and the world is forgetting it, she says.

Angie Moore says her son was a "comic" who found fun in everything.

He was looking forward to becoming a father, says his mother.

Ms Moore has a simple message: "Remember everybody, from every conflict from every country every son, every daughter, every husband, every wife".
