PRIME Minister Tony Blair shared a meal and a joke with soldiers from the Duke of Wellington's Regiment in Iraq.
Blair, seen here enjoying a very apt menu of Beef Wellington, chatted with troops from the Yorkshire regiment during a surprise flying visit to Iraq.
He visited Baghdad for talks with Iraq's interim prime minister Iyad Allawi and then flew south in a military helicopter to meet British troops at Basra.
And the Dukes were to the fore as they were praised by Mr Blair.
