St Helier lantern parade marks WW1 anniversary
The outbreak of World War One has been marked in Jersey with a lantern-lit parade.
A Ceremony of Light started at 21:00 BST and was designed to commemorate the moment Britain declared war on Germany 100 years ago.
Almost 12,500 Channel Islanders took part in World War One.
The Royal British Legion has urged islanders to switch off all but one light in their homes between 22:00 and 23:00 BST.
Following an exhibition of photographs taken around the outbreak of war, a lantern parade will make its way from Halkett Place to Royal Square to the sound of the Town Church bell.
The bell also sounded 100 years ago as war was declared.
Following the parade, all lanterns will be extinguished leaving a solitary candle burning in Royal Square.
Jersey's Baliff Sir Michael Birt said he hoped as many islanders as possible would take part in the "important and moving ceremony".
