Captive Navy crew meets their family members

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has freed 15 Royal Navy sailors and marines held in Iran for almost two weeks. He termed this incident as a "gift" to British people.

The crew touched down at Heathrow Airport at 1200 BST and then were flown to a Royal Marines base in Devon to see friends and relatives, and to be de-briefed. Tony Blair welcomed their return but accused elements of the Iranian regime of supporting terrorism in Iraq.
