The United Kingdom fell silent early on Tuesday as services were held across the country to mark Armistice Day, a ceremony that commemorates the end of the First World War. The two-minute silence, observed at 11am, was marked by civic ceremonies, church services and moments of reflection at war memorials from Belfast to Cardiff, London and Edinburgh.
Officials said the ceremony honours service personnel from all conflicts and that the silence is a chance to remember the cost of war and the sacrifice of those who served. Remembrance Day also provides an opportunity to reflect on the wider impact of war on communities and families.
