Germany and France join to remember
Updated on 11 November 2009
The leaders of Germany and France have appeared together for the first time at a First World War remembrance ceremony and said it was now time to celebrate their countries' reconciliation and friendship.
"French-German friendship is sealed with blood," French President Nicolas Sarkozy said under the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe, site of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Mr Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel together laid a wreath of flowers at the tomb and symbolically relit the perpetual flame above it to mark the 91st anniversary of the end of the war.
