Today marks another day of work for the royals. During the End of War in Iraq Commemoration, Rowan Williams — an outspoken critic of Britain’s role in the war — told a congregation at St. Paul’s Cathedral that there are many lessons to be learned from the Iraqi conflict. Included in the audience were HM Queen Elizabeth, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, Iraq President Jalal Talabani, top British Military officers, veterans of the war and families of British soldiers killed in Iraq. Prince William also attended the service with his father, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla, along with Princess Anne and Prince Edward.

British troops completed their pullout from Iraq in May, ending a six-year campaign that saw 178 British servicemen and women and one civilian Ministry of Defense worker killed.
