100 attend Welsh soldier's funeral after vicar puts appeal online

http://m.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-30039136

In St. Athan, Wales, as a vicar prepared for the funeral of an 85-year-old soldier, she noticed he had no next of kin. Not wanting the man to be buried without anyone else to say goodbye, the vicar put an appeal on social media. The response was a considerable surprise.
