The family of former Prime Minister Tony Blair today made a rare public appearance together as they reunited to attend his Order of the Garter service.  

Sir Tony, who held the keys to Number 10 between 1997 and 2007, was appointed a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the oldest and most senior British Order of Chivalry. 

The honour prompted a noisy protest outside the castle walls by around 100 Stop the War activists who at one point chanted 'Tony Blair war criminal'. 

Earlier this year more than 1.5 million signatures were gathered on a petition calling for the knighthood to be 'rescinded', claiming he was the 'least deserving person of any public honour' and that he should be 'held accountable for war crimes'. 

Sir Tony walked with Baroness Valerie Amos who joined the Order as a Lady Companion. The Labour Peer, the first black person to become a cabinet member, is now also the first black person appointed to the Order. 

Around 4,500 spectators within the castle walls watched the colourful procession of Garter Knight and Ladies dressed in blue velvet mantles, red velvet hoods, black velvet hats and white ostrich plumes.

The former Labour leader's wife Cherie Blair was today seen embracing daughter Kathryn ahead of the grande ceremony in St. Georges's Chapel, at Windsor Castle.

Included in the picture was eldest son Euan Blair - now 38 years old and firmly on his way to becoming a billionaire with an estimated net worth of more than £330million.

Middle child Nicky, a 36-year-old football agent, and youngest Leo, 22, who was born during Blair's time in Number 10 were also present.

The picture is one of the first times the Blair clan have been pictured all together in public since leaving Downing Street in 2007.

The appearance of the Blair children comes just days after it was revealed eldest son Euan, 38, was on course to become a billionaire with his education tech-start up.  

Last week it was revealed how the former Prime Minister's son had seen his tech firm's valuation double in eight months to £1.35 billion after securing £175 million in funding for Multiverse. 

The 38-year-old's personal stake in the 'EdTech' company, which aims to get young people into apprenticeships, is believed to be worth around £380million.

It comes 22 years after his unfortunate brush with the law, when he was arrested as a teenager for being drunk after a night out in London celebrating his GCSE results. 

The 16-year-old Euan Blair made a public apology in 2000, backed by his Prime Minister father, following the police reprimand.

He later did an unpaid Capitol Hill internship with Republican David Dreier and Republican Party staff at the United States House of Representatives but left early moving onto London public relations company Finsbury Limited.

Then he got an M.A. in International Relations with a £50,000 scholarship at Yale University, it was reported by the Daily Mail in 2008, but claims higher education taught him ‘nothing’ that proved useful. 

He said: '[Graduates and him] had no divine right to be there... it was a consequence of a system that was obsessed with using academics, with all the latent biases and problems inherent in that, to select people.’

Euan also joined the world of investment banking, with a graduate job at Morgan Stanley and was reported to be a runner in the film V for Vendetta. 

The chief executive, who bought himself a £22million mansion last month, founded the business just six years ago and in the last eight months
