As Sir John Chilcot delivers his long-awaited report on Britain’s involvement in the Iraq war, protesters gathered in central London, accusing former Prime Minister Tony Blair of war crimes.

That decision has remained controversial ever since, especially since the rise of Islamic State in both Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
