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.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, leaders both of nations with nuclear arsenals, were in Paris under the iconic Arc de Triomphe, where dozens of wreaths were touched by a milky light and the eternal flame flickered to honor sacrifices of unknown French soldiers who perished in the first global conflict.

Sir Keir Starmer said he was honoured to pay tribute to the fallen of the First World War alongside Emmanuel Macron.
