Kevin Elliott and Barry Delaney were inseparable best friends from Dundee, Scotland.
Before Kevin left to serve with the Black Watch in Afghanistan, they made a promise that reflected their humor and bond: if one of them ever died, the other would wear the brightest green dress to the funeral.
It was a lighthearted pact between two friends who shared everything.
When tragedy struck in 2009 and Kevin lost his life in Helmand Province, Barry honored that promise.
He arrived at the funeral wearing a lime green dress, pink socks, and a heart full of grief.
The image of him standing there, tears streaming down his face, moved people across the world — a powerful reminder of loyalty, love, and the kind of friendship that even death can’t break.
