Buckingham Palace has shared latest update on an emotional moment when the whole Britain stops in silence to mark Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War One and to remember those who have died in conflicts.
A national remembrance service took place at the Cenotaph in London, with a two-minute silence observed during ceremonies across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
In Staffordshire, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester laid a wreath at the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens.
The royal family shared stunning photos from the moment with a message as hundreds of people gathered at the Armed Forces memorial, formerly known as the National Memorial Arboretum.
The Palace wrote: “Today, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester attended a Service of Remembrance at the Armed Forces Memorial in the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens, honouring the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community on Armistice Day.”
