In the aftermath of Sir John Chilcot's long-awaited and much delayed report into the war in Iraq, a demonstration has been held in Newcastle by campaigners wanting justice for those who lost loved ones in the war.

During the demonstration, ITV News Tyne Tees spoke to one woman who said she was forced to flee Saddam Hussein's regime 26 years ago.

Emily Porter, from Baghdad, said the regime was 'brutal' and described it as a 'nightmare'. She lost family during the invasion and still does not agree with British involvement.
