Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have arrived hand-in-hand for the final day of the global summit to end war zone rape.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague, who is co-chairing the summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict with Jolie, arrived on Friday at the ExCel exhibition centre in London's Docklands with his wife Ffion.

Jolie and Pitt put on a public display of affection on Thursday at the summit - putting their arms around one another - as they stopped to look at a picture in a gallery.

The actress and Hague have launched an international protocol which they hope will "really, truly end impunity" when it comes to sexual violence in conflict.

"For me, and I suspect for many of you, this summit has been an emotional experience," Jolie said.

"We have all come together based on a common desire to end war zone sexual violence, and we have mapped out every area of action we need to take."

The actress said there is "no doubt" that after these four days it is now known what has to be done.

Hague described the last three days as "remarkable", and said the summit has "opened the eyes of the world to this issue".

The Foreign Secretary greeted US secretary of state John Kerry as he arrived at the event.
