Families reacted with fury yesterday at learning that Tony Blair will attend a service honouring soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
They say the former prime minister has blood on his hands after sending their sons to war and should be facing an inquiry instead.
Mr Blair and his successor Gordon Brown will be among the 2,000-strong congregation at a commemoration service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.

Relatives said it was ‘horrific’ that Mr Blair and Mr Brown should have a place, while many family members of those who died did not. Full story...
