From the devastating fire in Notre Dame to the joyful birth of royal baby Archie, 2019 has been a year full of highs and lows.

And with the help of the world's best photographers, the Standard has captured the key events of the last 12 months.

There have been iconic sporting moments, including tennis star Andy Murray's retirement and England's epic Cricket World Cup victory.

January kicked off the year with the sad news of Argentinian footballer Emiliano Sala's tragic death in a plane crash over the English channel.

In April, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was dragged from the Ecuadorian embassy, where he had sought refuge since 2012, by British authorities.
