Great joy in London

November 11, 1918

There are great demonstrations of joy in London, at Buckingham Palace, Mansion House and Downing Street as Britons celebrate the end of the war. King George V made a brief speech at Buckingham Palace. "With you I rejoice. Thank God for the victories which the Allied Armies have won and have brought hostilities to an end. Peace is within sight."

Prime Minister Lloyd George also speaks to the crowds outside Downing Street.
