Blair heckled inside Iraq Inquiry at the end of his 6-hour appearance there today.

A member of the public - a British man who has been working with refugees in Syria - shouted "No regrets! Come on man!" - when Blair answered the question of whether he had any regrets, to which Blair had given the answer "Responsibility, but no regret in removing Saddam", neglecting to even refer to the 1 million dead Iraqis, and dead servicemen and women.

BBC have reported Blair was also booed as he left the room at the end, and that family members sitting in public gallery inside were crying and being consoled by other members of the public.

Stop the War protest continued throughout the day. Reports also that chants were heard inside the Inquiry from outside. 300 people converged at the start of the day ouside the Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre.

Do yr worst in the comments section. I could but then this post would be hidden for offensive language.
