Today marks 15 years since the end of Operation TELIC in Iraq.

From 2003 to 2011, UK Armed Forces personnel served under extreme conditions to stabilise the region and support local communities.

We remember the 179 British personnel who lost their lives and the thousands who were wounded.

Later today, veterans and their families will gather at the National Memorial Arboretum to honour their sacrifice.
