Prince Harry looks at war graves at St Symphorien Military Cemetery on August 4,
2014 in Mons, Belgium. Monday 4th August marks the 100th Anniversary of Great
Britain declaring war on Germany.
In 1914 British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith
announced at 11pm that Britain was to enter the war after Germany had violated
Belgium's neutrality. The First World War or the Great War lasted until 11
November 1918 and is recognised as one of the deadliest historical conflicts
with millions of casualties.
A series of events commemorating the 100th
Anniversary are taking place throughout the day.
