Tony Blair has faced the wrath of anti-war protesters as he arrived for the first public signing of his rapidly-selling memoirs in Dublin.
Shoes and eggs were hurled at the former prime minister and scuffles broke out despite heavy security outside Eason's bookstore in the Irish capital.
The O'Connell Street shop had already been locked down and those attending ordered to obey stringent security measures.
Sky News' Ireland correspondent David Blevins, in Dublin, said Mr Blair's attempts to begin his book signing tour outside the UK in the home it would limit trouble had "backfired".
He forecasted a vociferous response earlier, saying: "There will be a number of anti-war protesters. Some have already gathered outside and they are expected to increase in number.
They are determined to make their voice heard."
