Private Matthew Adam Thornton, 28, was killed on November 9 by an improvised explosive device while on patrol in the Babaji region of Helmand. He was a territorial with the 4th Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment.
His body was returned on November 17 and his funeral is on Tuesday at 11am at All Saints Church in Darton.

Diversions will be in place. Council spokesman Bob Williams said: "The council apologises for these closures and any inconvenience caused. Where possible drivers are asked to avoid the area and, in the circumstances, their patience and understanding would be very much appreciated."
