British Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined French President Emmanuel Macron at a Paris ceremony marking the 106th anniversary of the Armistice on Monday.

With armed conflict once again on their continent, many European leaders marked the end of World War I, 106 years ago, with warnings that liberty — often taken for granted —must be cherished and defended.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, both leaders of nuclear-armed nations, attended a ceremony at Paris's iconic Arc de Triomphe, where wreaths lay under a milky light and the eternal flame flickered in honour of the unknown French soldiers who perished in the first global conflict. That war killed almost 10 million soldiers.
