PHOTOS: Queen Elizabeth Pays Tribute to UK Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan

Britain's Queen Elizabeth attended a service of thanksgiving at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, central England, on July 20, 2011.

The Queen laid a wreath next to the wall of the Armed Forces Memorial where names of the men and women of the UK Armed Forces who were killed on duty during 2010 are inscribed, the memorial said in a statement.

About 112 names that recently got engraved on the Portland Stone walls of the Armed Forces Memorial were read out during the private service attended by families of those killed, over 100 of which were in Afghanistan.

The Arboretum is the UK’s year-round centre for Remembrance where about 200 memorials are dedicated to not only civil and armed people of the country, but also rescue workers, children and people who were killed in particular circumstances since 1948.
