Tanks roll back into Red Square

In Moscow's Red Square, the Russian military stages a display of weaponry not seen since the fall of the Soviet Union.

The event has involved 8,000 troops, tanks, missiles launchers and aircraft.

It was the first major public appearance for Russia's new president Dmitry Medvedev standing alongside Vladimir Putin, newly installed as prime minister. The display marks the 63rd anniversary of Russia's World War Two victory.
