WW1 commemorations: Youth teams mark truce football match

A special youth football tournament is being held in Flanders as part of the centenary commemorations of World War One.

Chelsea and Liverpool Academy is joining teams from Scotland, France, Germany, Austria and Belgium for the Premier League's Christmas Truce tournament.

The event reflects one of the most iconic moments of WW1 - the moment when the Allies and Germans put down their weapons and met on No Man's Land for a football match on Christmas Day.
