{"Image ImageDescription": "BREATH-TAKING photos depicting the agony and ecstasy of the end of First World War have been brought to life in colour for the first time to coincide with the 99th Armistice Day, as Britain remembers those who lost their lives in the conflict. Among the images are jubilant crowds in New York celebrating the allied forces\u2019 victory and joyful soldiers making the long journey home from the front lines. However, additional photographs show coffins of fallen British troops being solemnly carried through the streets of London whilst another reveals nuns peacefully laying wreaths in a field of mass graves. The images were colourised by Cardiff based electrician, Royston Leonard (55), who painstakingly brought them into the 21st century.
