World War One 1914 - 2014

In Great Britain tonight, as the actual moment of the centenary of World War One approached lights were switched off and candles lit in an act of joint remembrance.  On August 4th 1914 as the light faded, the country knew it was heading to war.  At 11pm, that war arrived.  Those evening hours were the last peace that many would know for four years.  They were also the last moments of peace that some would ever know.  The world really did change forever at that one moment and millions would lose their lives as a result while millions more would be left to mourn them.  And now many millions more remember them.
