HUNDREDS of people lined the streets near Heathrow airport yesterday to welcome home the bodies of two men killed fighting against Isis in Syria.

Jac Holmes and Ollie Hall, who served with the largely Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), were both killed during a clear-up operation after the liberation of Raqqa.

Mr Holmes was one of the longest-serving international volunteers having joined the YPG in 2015 and his mother Angie Blannin described him as a “totally fearless” young man who “liked helping the underdog.”
