Theresa May led the nation in commemorating the Armistice centenary today, visiting sites in Belgium and France.
The Prime Minister visited the St Symphorien Military Cemetery in Mons, Belgium, a memorial containing the graves of more than 500 soldiers, most of whom died during the Battle of Mons in August 1914.
Joined by her counterpart Charles Michel, Mrs May lay wreaths at the graves of John Parr, believed to be the first UK soldier to be killed during the war, and the last, George Ellison, who died in battle 90 minutes before the Armistice came into effect.
She then travelled to Albert, France, to meet President Emmanuel Macron.
The town, in the heart of the Somme region, suffered significant bombardment during the conflict.
