Jeremy Vine meets the mother of Sergeant John Jones who was killed in Iraq in November 2005. Carol shares memories of him through music and visits the National Memorial Arboretum.
In a special series for Remembrance Week, Jeremy Vine meets the mothers of five fallen soldiers who share their memories through music.
Sergeant John Jones was a husband, a father and an Aston Villa fan. In November 2005, he was killed while out on patrol in Basra when his Snatch landrover hit a roadside bomb.
His wife had to tell their 5 year old son and break the news to his parents.
John's mother Carol lives near the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire and it has become a special place for her.
She wants more people to visit and takes the listener on a tour of the places that mean the most to her from the Basra Memorial Wall to the weeping willow she planted for her son.
