The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 marked a victory for the Allies against Germany - and this year, we remember the sacrifice of those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom

One of the deadliest conflicts in our history, millions died across the globe as a result of the Great War. More than 700,000 military deaths are thought to have taken place in the UK.

Take a look at the Hartlepool Roll of Honour for Armistice 100 here.

In the run-up to Remembrance Sunday this weekend, we are commemorating the loss of life in Hartlepool with the publication of a Roll of Honour for Hartlepool's fallen.

Thousands of names are included on the list, and we will add to it as November 11 draws closer.

There were few families across Hartlepool left untouched by the tragedy of the war. Now, and always, we honour them.
