On Monday 11th November 1918, the treaty known as the Armistice of Compiègne came into effect, ending hostilities between the Allies and Germany. The agreement ended four years of conflict involving 70 million military personnel worldwide at the cost of more than 18 million lives.
To help churches mark this, the Church of England have produced prayers, hymns and published liturgy.
They include a prayer to say when visiting a war grave, a prayer of commitment to peace and recommended Bible readings.
The Bishop of Lambeth, Tim Thornton, Bishop to Her Majesty's Forces, told Premier why it was important to remember the war in churches in particular.
"What happened in World War One was atrocious and horrific, so many people lost their lives in so many different countries and it's very important we remember these things, partly because we need to say 'sorry' to God for what happened but also to say 'Thanks be to God' for those people who did sacrifice their lives in such an extraordinary way," he said.
"But also actually, as Christians, we need to say to God 'How can we learn something from these things?' and 'How can we move forward?' and so remembering it's not something that just happened in the past but something that very much can shape our present and our future."
Speaking on how World War One can feel very distant to many people, Bishop Tim said: "That, for me, is why it's even more important that we provide resources to try to help people connect in some shape or form."
He added: "I think these days there can be a great interest in family history and genealogies and looking back and doing some research. I think there are just some amazing stories from the First World War and I hope and pray that these resources give opportunity for people to do some work and recreate, bring back to life, some of the people who were human beings like we are, living in a different time but actually living with the same problems, opportunities and joys that we have."
When asked if these resources would also be relevant to other tragedies, he replied: "Sadly yes, I was preaching myself at the Falklands War Memorial service where 600 or more people gather every year - veterans and family and those who remember that conflict - there are many more conflicts that have happened since tragically.
"I think war and all the horrors of war is something that we do need to remember... but we also need to be very much connected with the violence and hatred going on around the world right now."
