Wreaths have been laid at the National Memorial Arboretum to mark the 20th anniversary of the start of UK operations in Afghanistan.
A service was held at the Bastion Memorial, originally created by soldiers at Camp Bastion to remember those who died during their deployment in Helmand Province.
The original structure was followed by a memorial wall, with both elements being moved to the Alrewas centre for remembrance in 2014.
A spokesperson for the arboretum said:
“The service marked the 20th anniversary of the start of UK operations in Afghanistan to recognise the sacrifice that so many have made, including the UK Service personnel who lost their lives in the conflict.”
