A service of commemoration honouring Britons who served in the Iraq conflict has taken place at St Paul's Cathedral, London.
The commemoration service honoured both military and civilian personnel.
Relatives of some of the 179 UK personnel killed in Iraq were at the service, which was attended by the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh.
Former prime minister Tony Blair, who led the country to war, was at the service, at which the Archbishop of Canterbury alluded to the controversial nature of the campaign.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his wife Sarah were also among those at the service, as were Tory leader David Cameron and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg.
Prince Charles, Prince William and the Duchess of Cornwall were among the senior royals who attended the event, along with the Princess Royal.
The Queen arrived with the Duke of Edinburgh and, after the service, attended a lunch at Mansion House with veterans of the conflict.
The Earl and Countess of Wessex and the Princess Royal were also among the royal party.
In his address, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, criticised "policy makers" for failing to consider the cost of the Iraq war.
An engraved memorial stone, brought from the Basra memorial wall in Iraq, and a candle lit on behalf of those who lost their lives took centre stage at the service.
