Europeans still commemorating WW I

King Albert laid a wreath Sunday at the Monument to the Unknown Soldier while thousands flocked to the site of one of bloodiest battles of World War I in western Belgium to mark the anniversary of the war's end.

Ceremonies across Britain, France and Belgium were held on Armistice Day to commemorate the end of the war on Nov. 11, 1918.

In London, Queen Elizabeth II paid silent tribute at the Cenotaph memorial to those who have died serving Britain since World War I. For the first time, Prince William, wearing his military uniform and carrying a sword, joined senior members of Britain's royal family in laying wreaths at the monument.

In western Belgium, officials expected more than 10,000 visitors to the 150 war cemeteries dotting Flanders Fields.
