Belgium, France and Poland among countries commemorating first world war as conflict rumbles on

A number of European countries – including Belgium , France and Poland – are celebrating Armistice Day today, which in Poland’s case also marks the anniversary of the country regaining its independence in 1918.

We will keep an eye on commemorative events, including the ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris hosted by France’s Emmanuel Macron , and a major march in the Polish capital of Warsaw , which in the past had seen some incidents on the fringes. I will bring you the latest from these events.
