Ministers are working on plans to commemorate the anniversary of the Christmas truce during the First World War with a football match on the battlefields of Flanders. Next Christmas will mark the centenary of when the guns fell silent and British and German troops emerged from the trenches in Belgium and played football in no man's land. The Government is talking to the Football Association and the National Children's Football Alliance about how the 1914 matches can be remembered.
