Neil Downes, 20, known to his friends as Tony, died whilst serving his country in Afghanistan on 9th June 2007. He was from Manchester and until 2003 attended Middleton Technology School.
Our friend Tony was one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet. He never had a bad word to say and got on with everyone. Always laughing and joking, he brought a smile to the face of everyone who knew him. He will be remembered forever and sorely missed by everyone who knew him. rest in peace Tony xxx

Reminders
I happened to watch the Iraq tribute last night and was moved by all of the stories having not seen this programme before.
Tony's story made feel that I should write a short tribute to his family simply to say that my thoughts were with you and how proud we should be as a country to have such dedication in our forces. It is so easy to forget the lives that are lost in the name of our beautiful land and our democracy.
I hope you are all as well as can be - although I am a total stranger to you all, I just wanted you to know that I will never forget Tony's story as well as all of the other service men and women.
2 years on and you are still in everybody's thought's and hearts as much as ever. You are so greatly missed!!! xxx
