Description
English: The Operation Banner Service held at St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday, 10 September 2008.

The 300,000 members of the Armed Forces who served on Operation Banner in Northern Ireland, were honoured at a service in St Paul’s Cathedral, London, today, Wednesday 10 September 2008.

The service was held in the presence of more than 2,000 veterans and their families along with The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Baroness Thatcher, Tony Blair, Defence Secretary Des Browne, Veterans Minister Derek Twigg and Chief of the Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup.

Thanks were given to the many Servicemen and women from across all three Services, along with the many civil servants who served in Northern Ireland. The commemoration also remembered the hundreds of Service personnel who gave their lives helping to bring greater peace and stability to the Province over a 38 year period, the longest deployment in British military history.
