The leaders of France and Germany have held a joint ceremony commemorating the end of World War One for the first time since the end of the conflict 91 years ago. Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, laid a wreath with Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris on Wednesday. "French-German friendship is sealed with blood," Sarkozy said at the Armistice Day ceremony, which marks the end of fighting in France on November 11, 1918.
"This small flame is also ... the flame of hope," he said as the two leaders re-lit the flame above the tomb.
