DescriptionUS President Barack Obama has marked the end of the Iraq war with a speech at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, telling troops, "welcome home!"

He paid tribute to the soldiers who served in the conflict - both those who died and veterans who returned home after long tours of duty.

The final US soldiers are expected to leave Iraq within days.
