The Recruitment Centre, just by the Victoria Centre Clocktower, in the centre of Nottingham
People had prepared the placards, edged in black, mounted on a line, and naming each of the dead servicemen.
Obviously, these service deaths are in addition to many thousands of civilian deaths in Iraq.
People from the Stop the War coalition set up a stall and banner outside the Centre and gave out leaflets urging Blair to end the occupation, and urging prospective recruits to stay out of the forces.
