United in sadness for Wirral soldier Phillip Lawrence
Aug 12 2009 by Vicki Kellaway, Birkenhead News
Phillip Lawrence's funeral in Landican Cemetery in Arrowe Park Road _460
The family lived in Norwich where Trooper Lawrence was based with the Light Dragoons.
But he stayed close to his mum and his brothers Christopher, 20, Liam, 19, Ryan, 13 and Louis, 11.
They described him as a down-to-earth football fan who loved playing practical jokes.
Mrs Lawrence said: “Phil was so full of fun. He always joking and children always seemed to love him. We said he was like the Pied Piper the way they followed him around. I emailed him to tell him Paul was going to ask for my hand when he got back from Afghanistan and I’m just so glad I did. I only hope he read it and was made up.”
