Armistice Day: UK to hold two-minute silence

The UK will mark Armistice Day with a two-minute silence on Friday.

This year’s commemorations to remember the war dead will include the recently restored Big Ben striking 11 times.

The silence is held every year at 11:00 GMT on 11 November to mark the end of World War One in 1918.

Remembrance Day services will be held on Sunday, including one attended by the Royal Family at the Cenotaph – the first since the death of the Queen.

During the service, which the Prince and Princess of Wales will also attend, King Charles will lay a poppy wreath incorporating a ribbon of his racing colours of scarlet, purple and gold.
