UK Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon has been awarded the Pentagon's highest civilian honour for the British armed forces' role in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Distinguished Public Service Award was given to Mr Hoon by his US counterpart, Donald Rumsfeld, at a small ceremony at the Pentagon.

It was awarded in recognition for Mr Hoon's leadership role in the so-called war on terror, a top US official said.

It was also a gesture of thanks for the role UK armed forces played in Iraq.
:D
