Just as it has for over a century, the nation joined in silence at 11 a.m. today to honour its war dead on Armistice Day.

Although they were able to share those two minutes of silence, many people across the UK could not attend the usual remembrance services at war memorials and cenotaphs due to lockdown and social-distancing restrictions.
