Battle of the Somme centenary tributes

Tributes are being held to remember more than one million soldiers who were killed and injured in the historic Battle of the Somme which began 100 years ago.

The World War One battle saw the British and French armies fight the Germans on a 15-mile front in northern France.

Politicians and members of the Royal Family are among those who have been attending commemorations in the UK and France to mark the day the bloody battle began.

Our UK correspondent Martha Holeyman reports.
