British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was attending Armistice commemorations in Paris on Monday, making him the first UK leader to attend the ceremony in the French capital since World War II, according to his office.

While Sir Keir Starmer is in France, events will be held in the UK to mark the guns falling silent at the end of the First World War.

The prime minister and French president laid a wreath together before relighting the flame of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe.
