'The lamps are going out all over Europe ........

..........we shall not see them lit again in our life-time.'

The words uttered by then-foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey on the eve of the outbreak of war.

According to his memoirs, he was standing with a friend in the Foreign Office when he saw the lamps in the grounds below him being lit.
