Died in 2010

At the time of their deaths Lance Corporal Hardy and Private Grigg were on an operation inserted deep into Taliban territory, attacking the insurgents where they least expected it.

Private James Grigg was born in Hartismere, Suffolk in January 1989. It was at his local school where he developed his first passion in life - the game of cricket. After he left the school he continued to coach their team.

Your thoughts

I would like to thank Lasting Tribute for the most wonderful pages dedicated to my late brother Tony Parry, who sadly died in November 2009. Both my family and myself visit your site each day and take so much comfort from seeing the very moving tributes to our lovely Tony. Thank you for being there for us, it is a real tonic to visit your site. Elaine Chamberlain
In my view, Lasting Tribute is very worthwhile. In our frantic world, it's good to see a site which pauses to reflect the loss of various talented individuals and provides space for others to pay tribute to them. I think it's a lovely concept. Andy Brett
Well done to the staff who run this site. It's very touching that there is somewhere like this to come and remember people. Keep up the good work. Andrea Corker
