Tony Blair makes surprise appearance as Queen pays tribute to Iraq veterans at St Paul's | Mail Online

A father's grief and anger boiled over yesterday when he came face to face with the man he blames for his son's death.

Tony Blair offered his hand to Peter Brierley during a reception following a service at St Paul's to commemorate the dead of the Iraq war.

`Don't you dare,' roared Mr Brierley. `You have my son's blood on your hands.'

Is there an English expression like "petrified expression"? (The German versteinerte Miene is what I imagine him to have shown.)

I read somewhere on the Toobz that he left with a stony expression, so you're spot on.
