Memorial to Armed forces

The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales have attended the dedication of the new national Armed Forces Memorial.

The £6m stone circle in Alrewas, Staffordshire, bears the names of 16,000 service personnel who have died since World War II.

The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams led prayers at the event.

He said the memorial was about naming the "invisible" ready to risk their lives for the country and world.

There is room for 15,000 more names to be carved on the Portland stone walls of the memorial, at the National Memorial Arboretum.
