The distraught families of two British hostages beheaded at the hands of ISIS fanatics today came together in show of unity at a memorial service for one of the murdered men. In a symbol of solidarity, Alan Henning's anguished wife and daughter linked armed with the family of David Haines as they attended the private memorial in honour of Mr Henning. The 47-year-old taxi driver was beheaded by the British Islamtic State terrorist dubbed 'jihadi John' in a gruesome video released last month while on a second aid convoy to Syria to help refugees.
