A British father whose son died in Iraq called on Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday not to attend a national memorial service set for Friday. Gordan Evans’ 24-year-old son Llywelyn died on the first day of the invasion. His father said yesterday, “I think Mr Blair got it all wrong from the very beginning. He’s just a puppet of Mr Bush, and the rest of Europe did not want to get involved… He’s the one who sent out troops in the first place. We wouldn’t be having a memorial service if it wasn’t for him.”
