100 years on: Passchendaele remembered

There was courage and bravery but also the “senseless horror of war”. A hundred years after the battle of Passchendaele, a moving ceremony has paid tribute to those who died. Half a million German and Allied troops lost their lives. Today members of the British and Belgian royal families joined German ministers and some 4,000 relatives to remember their sacrifice, and a loss too great to comprehend.
