Armistice Day has been marked with two minutes of silence across the UK and in Europe.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer joined an event in Paris, while Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, led the ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
Sir Keir and the French president laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in the French capital.
Across the UK, the traditional two-minute silence at 11:00 on 11 November was observed. It marks the time and date when the World War One armistice came into effect.
While the Armistice Day tradition began as a way of commemorating those killed in World War One, it is now used to remember all the people killed in wars since then.

BBC NEEDS TO GO
The french dont even try to stop the illegal immigrants crossing channel to England. Dads Army would have seen them off, they dont like it up em! The Vichy french government collaborated with Natzi germany.
How disgusting Starmer was in France But then Every service men and women at the cenotaph would have turned away from this Leftie Communist Dictator Starmer the Scum should stay in france and never come back the Traitor he is to ur country and the BBC say he was invited No he ran away because he knows he his Hated in this country.
A disgrace to the armed forces,destroying the UK & everything those men fought for. The people want homeless veterans in 5* hotels instead of illegal immigrants.Also give the pensioners their winter fuel payments.
“WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM!” ❤
