A new permanent war memorial titled "Never Forget" has been unveiled at the National Memorial Arboretum.
It was officially opened by Amanda Binnie, whose husband Sean was 23 when he was ambushed and killed in Helmand province, Afghanistan, in May 2009.
The memorial features a giant wreath around which poppies, inscribed with individual names and dates, can be planted as a permanent tribute.
The Royal British Legion held the service at the site in Staffordshire.
"Never Forget" is the shape of a poppy whose petals are flower beds for thousands of small wooden poppies to be planted, and is surrounded by a paved walkway.
Sarah Montgomerie, from the Royal British Legion, said everyday heroes, as well as those killed in conflict, would be honoured at the year-round centre for remembrance.
The memorial will be opened to the public following the formal dedication ceremony.
The National Memorial Arboretum is open year round except Christmas Day and forms part of the Royal British Legion's family of charities.
Members of the public may visit the Never Forget website to create personal tributes for the memorial.
