India’s role in the war was significant – over 1.4 million Indian servicemen fought across Europe, the Middle East and East Africa, making the Indian contribution the largest non-British contingent in the British armies.

A two minute's silence was held in Kolkata and in New Delhi where a three-day event organised by the British High Commission in India to commemorate the centenary is ongoing.

Two female topless protesters approached the car of US President Donald Trump this morning as he made his way up the Champs-Elysees to a ceremony marking 100 years since the end of World War One.

One of the protesters got within metres of the vehicle President Trump was travelling in before being grabbed by a police officer, while a second could be seen being apprehended by security services on the edge of the famous avenue.

According to Reuters, the two protesters were from the radical feminist group Femen.

French police have arrested both individuals.

The centenary of the Armistice is particularly special for Poland as it marks 100 years to the day that Poland regained independence after the defeat of Germany, Russia and Austria in World War One.

There were concerns that today's commemorations would result in chaos after last year's march drew global outrage when some participants displayed racist and anti-immigrant banners and slogans.

Earlier this morning, European Council head Donald Tusk - a former Polish prime minister - celebrated the 100th anniversary of Poland's independence by laying wreaths at monuments to key figures in rebuilding the country's statehood after the war.

Mr Tusk placed flowers at the monument to the first state and armed forces leader, Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, by the Belvedere Palace where Mr Pilsudski lived.

Speaking at the monument, Mr Tusk, an opponent of Poland's right-wing government, said the political disputes about Poland's future are "sometimes too strong", but stressed that "our bond is much stronger and much more important".

Mr Tusk is the bloc’s only senior representative in Warsaw today.

A series of photographs of women volunteers in the British Red Cross during World War One have been colourised to mark the centenary of the Armistice.

More than 60,000 women worked for the charity between 1914 and 1918, providing first aid, nursing and cooking in the UK and overseas.

British Red Cross heritage manager, Dr Alasdair Brooks, said: “These photos show that our volunteers were ordinary people doing extraordinary things to help those in crisis."

Designer Joanna Wheeler said: "It was only when I introduced colour to the images that new details and depths started to emerge and they truly came to life."

The National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire - the UK's year-round centre of remembrance - has held its own memorial service today.

Up to 10,000 veterans, serving armed forces personnel and members of the public were there.

People left personal tributes. One painted stone read: "1918-2018, 100 years - George Parker, thank you."

And another wreath - for Private Harry Grocott, of Shawbury, Shropshire, who died aged 16 in 1916 - read: "We never knew you but we know of you - we will never forget your selfless sacrifice. Thank you."

Five buglers played the Last Post and the crowd sang Abide With Me. The Band of the Royal Marines played the Band of Brothers TV theme and the hymn Amazing Grace.

Roger Miles, 69, a retired interior designer from Angmering in West Sussex, dips out of the parade to share the extraordinary story of his family.

After much research he discovered that his grandfather, Archie Miles, was wounded in the Battle of Cambrai, probably when the Germans launched a counter-attack.

His wife, Amelia, was told to get to France to be by her dying husband's side, which she did.

But as he lay dying, back home in Worthing, their three-month-old son Tommy, was also dying from whooping cough and pneumonia.

The two died on the same day.

"I'm really here to honour the courage of my grandmother. She was obviously traumatised and remained a widow for the rest of her life," says Roger.

Hundreds attended the memorial service outside St George's Hall in Liverpool earlier before a parade.

Steve Rotheram, mayor for the Liverpool City Region, tweeted an image from the plateau.

In 1915, about 12,000 men gathered for an inspection by the then war secretary Lord Kitchener before heading off to war.

As the marchers walked past, members of the public lining the barriers called out "thank you" and applauded.

Prime Minister Theresa May said: "I will think of Hubert Grant, my father's cousin, who fought and died at Passschendaele at the age of just 19, but also the millions of sacrifices made for the security and peace of our continent".

TV broadcaster Jeremy Paxman said: "Today, we mark Remembrance Sunday to honour the memory of the empty places at so many family dinner tables - and it is this that should take precedence, not the grand plans and gestures of politicians here and abroad, who have their own purposes in mind."

And Grace Jones, who is Britain's oldest person at 112, will remember her brother Tom who died at Gallipoli. "He was a lovely brother," she said. "That was a very sad time. My father went upstairs to his own room. I crept up after him. He was just sitting there crying. It was a big loss to him - his only son."

"It's very simple - without their sacrifice, I would not be here, my children would not be here," says Paul Scull, 65, an artist from Herefordshire.

He is taking part in the procession to honour his great uncle, who was killed in 1917 aged 23.

"It's very cold but very emotional," he said.

Faces of the fallen from World War One have been etched across UK and Irish beaches today as part of Danny Boyle's project, "The Pages of Sea", which he describes as a "nationwide gesture of remembrance".

On beaches from Cornwall to the Shetland Isles, and Pembrokeshire to Donegal, portraits of soldiers were sculpted in the sand to say thank you for their sacrifice, before a collective goodbye as the sea comes in and washes away their images forever.

Speaking to the BBC, Danny Boyle said: "It's become more important to commemorate as the years go by.

"We live in a dangerous world of polarisation now, and commemorating the centenary of the Armistice connects us all - it reinforces the value of these people."

The portraits are slowly fading away as high tides come in across the UK, but Danny said: "Weymouth is still going strong, and they will go on until nightfall in numerous places."
