Widow pays tribute to hero husband
Captain Philip Guy, 29, was one of eight servicemen from Plymouth-based 3 Commando Brigade who died in the crash on Saturday morning.
He leaves a wife, Helen, who is due to give birth in two weeks, and their 20-month-old son Henry. Paying tribute to her husband, Mrs Guy said: “Phil was the most perfect, loving, special husband that I could have wished for.
“He was the most brave, courageous man you could ever imagine; tough and steadfast, honest and true.
“All he ever wanted to do was to provide for us, to be a good husband to me, and father to Henry and our unborn child.
“I know he died a true hero. He died for his Queen and country and to make the world a safer, better place for us to live in, for his children to grow up in.”
From their family home in Bishopdale, Yorkshire, Capt Guy’s parents Stuart and Anne spoke of their loss.
“He was a very brave and courageous soldier and will be sadly missed by his family and all who knew him,” his mother said.
