Watch: UK falls silent to mark Armistice Day

The UK has fallen silent for two minutes to mark Armistice Day on Wednesday, commemorating the end of World War One and to remember those who have died in conflicts.

Ceremonies took place at the Cenotaph memorial in London, the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens in Staffordshire, and across the UK.

The Armistice, an agreement to end the fighting of World War One as a prelude to peace negotiations, began at 11:00 on 11 November 1918.
