Taliban Killed UK Soldier >Family Wore Kilts @ Funeral.>His Best Friend Wore A Dress
This Man Wore A Dress To His Best Friend's Funeral.The Truth About Why Will Break You Down In Tears!
Three years ago, two best friends made a pact — a very strange pact to many outsiders, but to them it made perfect sense.
British soldier Kevin Elliot left for war in Afghanistan, his best friend Barry Delaney agreed that if Elliot was killed during war, Barry would wear a bright, tacky woman’s dress to the funeral.

Of course, much of the pact was just a joke — but when tragedy struck, Barry knew what he had to do. Private Elliott died in a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan.
Barry Delainey, the best friend of Private Kevin Elliott, who died in Afghanistan, wore a yellow dress to his funeral keeping a promise between the pair...
Private Elliott of the Black Watch was killed by insurgents while on foot patrol in the Babaji District of Helmand Province on 31 August .
The 24-year-old from Dundee Scotland, had been first to volunteer to protect his colleagues when they came under attack in the area.
Around 400 mourners turned out for his funeral in St Mary's Church including Mr Delainey who wore a bright lime green dress and pink knee length socks. The two friends had promised each other they would wear a dress at the funeral of whoever died first.
Private Elliott's father Sandy Elliott, told the funeral that he was "proud" of his son.
"Kevin was a grandson, a brother, a nephew, an uncle and a cousin, but more than anything he was our son," he said.
