Father of soldier: Blair made war inevitable

Roger Bacon's son Matthew, a major in the Intelligence Corps, was killed in Iraq in 2005.

Matthew was travelling in a lightly armoured land rover because the helicopter he should have been in was faulty and there were no replacements. A roadside bomb killed him instantly.

Roger Bacon spoke to PM's Eddie Mair about reading the Chilcot report and his reaction to it.
