World War One Centenary: Britain Remembers

Commemorations are taking place across Europe to mark the centenary of the day Britain entered the First World War.

An estimated 37 million people were killed or injured in the conflict which lasted from 1914 until 1918.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are attending a service to mark 100 years since the German invasion of Belgium at the start of World War One.

The Royals were received at L'Abbaye Saint-Laurent in Liege by King Philippe of Belgium, from where they walked to the Cointe Inter-allied Memorial for a service, during which Prince William gave a speech and spoke of the importance of reconciliation across Europe.
