Iraq mothers camp outside No 10


BBC News

Mothers of soldiers killed in Iraq have set up camp outside Downing Street and handed in a letter calling for a meeting with Tony Blair.

Rose Gentle, whose 19-year-old son Gordon was killed in Basra in 2004, said: "A lot of families have questions that need answering".

She is among those sleeping in a tent on Whitehall until Sunday morning.

"He has refused to meet me."

Referring to the prime minister's recent meeting with Big Brother star Shilpa Shetty, Mrs Gentle said: "Mr Blair should come and speak to us. If he can speak to film stars that are in town he can speak to us."
