Iraq mothers camp outside No 10

Mothers of soldiers killed in Iraq have set up camp outside Downing Street and handed in a letter calling for a meeting with Tony Blair.

Rose Gentle, whose 19-year-old son Gordon was killed in Basra in 2004, said: "A lot of families have questions that need answering".

She is among those sleeping in a tent on Whitehall until Sunday morning.

Mrs Gentle told the BBC News website that more protesters were expected to join them over the weekend. But, on her sixth visit to try to get a meeting with Mr Blair, she did not have much hope of getting one. "We think he should show a wee bit of respect to the families," said Mrs Gentle, from Glasgow. He has refused to meet me."

1. K&R and wow! That is some great protesting. What DID my son die for, Mr. Blair?

Can you answer a simple question from a grieving mother?

What a loser.
