The anniversary of the World War One armistice 95 years ago marked with a two-minute silence
The anniversary of the World War One armistice - signed 95 years ago - has been marked in the UK with a two-minute silence.
Ceremonies have taken place at military bases, town halls, churches, schools, and at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire.
The Royal British Legion held its own event in London' s Trafalgar Square.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Edinburgh has visited Belgium, scene of some of World War One's deadliest battles.
This year, Armistice Day, which honours members of the armed forces who have died in that war and in all conflicts since, comes a day after Remembrance Sunday.
