His small body washed up on the shoreline, face down as the water laps around him, the picture showing tragic Aylan Kurdi's fate has sent shockwaves across the globe.
Etched on people’s hearts and minds, the image of the Syrian toddler has jolted the nation's consciousness and captured the world’s attention in a way no other story about the plight of refugees has done in recent months.
Three-year-old Aylan died along with his brother Galip, five, and mother Rehan when their dinghy capsized as they tried to reach the Greek island of Kos under the cover of darkness.
Here, we look at other powerful photos that had a similar impact on the world, from the emaciated little girl stalked by a vulture in southern Sudan to the horrors of Belsen-Bergen concentration camp.
We have also focused on iconic photos capturing moments which have changed the course of history, such as the 1969 moon landing and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan to end the Second World War.
