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.

Keir Starmer has become the first British leader since Winston Churchill to attend Armistice Day in France. The Prime Minister joined French president Emmanuel Macron at the ceremony in Paris on Monday, laying wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and inspecting the armed forces.

In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, a peace agreement was signed in France to mark the end of World War One. Whether in France, in the UK or in the US, November 11th is a time to pay tribute to fallen soldiers from the First World War and beyond.
