Good morning, I'm Ayshah.

First - a two-minute silence has just been held to mark the moment

one of the deadliest battles of World War One started,

exactly 100 years ago.

More than a million soldiers were killed or wounded in the Battle

of the Somme in northern France.

There have been vigils overnight to remember them.

Martin's met children who've been retracing the journeys of men

who left their homes and risked their lives for Britain.

Private William Henry Roberts of the Northumberland Fusiliers.

Lance Corporal John Abbott King of the

Kings Liverpool Regiment.

Private Harry Ingham of the Royal Fusiliers.

These guys have come here from all over the UK

to the battlefields where

the local heroes fought during World War I.

So, usually people come here

to look at the graves of people they've known or have been related

to in some way or another, but today I'm here because we were researching

soldiers and one of them we found was actually from my hometown.

We came here to look back on the lives

of the soldiers and see what they went through, really.

I'm here because there is a soldier I've been

researching.

He was actually living on the same street as my school.

I've come here because I'm researching a

soldier who was, he actually lived on my road.

He actually lived six houses away from me.

So, what did you find out about the soldier?

He was actually a former England rugby

football international player.

He was actually killed in action in France here.

I found out he was a miller's clerk.

And that he was a private in the Army.

What is next for you, guys?

What are you going to do now to help out with your research?

We are going to go find out where and how they died and see

if we can find where they were buried.

All three men fought in the

Battle of the Somme, one of the deadliest

events of the First World War.

Like millions of other soldiers who lost their lives in the fight.

So I'm looking for the soldier I researched, who is Harry Ingham.

And he should be on 8C, which is

here.

I was looking for Henry Roberts.

Should be on this one somewhere.

He is right at the top so I will put it here.

He was from my road as well, he lived a few

houses away from me.

It is weird to see his name on there.

It really brings it into reality seeing the

names on this wall.

It is an actual person.

For Marie, Imal and Cara, tracing the journey of the

soldiers from their home towns to where they fought and died has made

a lasting impression.

Every soldier named on these monuments has their

own story.

And you can be sure to find someone remembered here who

grew up in a place you live now.

Thanks, guys.

A week ago today, adults across the country voted for the UK

to leave a club of 28 countries called the European Union.

But there was a big difference between how younger and older people

voted, as Naz has been finding out.

The UK voted to leave the European Union, but did you know

most young people who voted wanted to stay,

and lots of older people wanted to leave?

Hello, everyone.

I've come along to meet one family who all have very different views.

Hello, I'm Sophie, I'm 14 and I would have loved it if the UK

had stayed in the EU.

Hi, I'm Mike, I'm Sophie's grandad, I voted to leave the EU.

Hi, I'm Caroline, I'm Sophie's mum and I voted

to remain in the EU.

So, Sophie, why did you feel so strongly about that big EU vote?

The main reason I wanted to stay in the EU is because of the workers'

rights.

For example, we don't get forced to work more than 48 hours a

week and that could change by the time I'm an adult and working.

And I think it is unfair we weren't able

to vote for that when it is our future.

I'm surprised that you felt so strongly about these

issues.

If I had my time again, I wouldn't have made the decision

without having spoken to you.

I think it was quite unfair and quite

selfish of you to not have spoken to me, because now

there's so many things I

won't get an opportunity to do, or might not get an opportunity

to do, like travel freely.

I think that the only impact will be that you will go

back to what we had where you have a stamp

and a passport and you have to

wait a bit longer in the queue.

It makes me quite angry that you voted

to leave because it is our generation and we are going to have

to deal with the consequences more, and for longer, and we should have

had a say in it.

If you could go back and vote again, would you

change your mind this time?

I do have some regrets because what we've been

talking about has opened my eyes, and if I had my time again, I might

well do.

But we will still be friends, won't we?

Maybe.

That's all from me for now, Newsround's back in half an hour,

and we'll have the latest from France on Wales's big Euros

match tonight.

See ya.
