Quote:
The UK fell silent in tribute to service personnel who have died during conflicts, as part of the annual Remembrance Sunday service.
A two-minute silence was observed, before the Queen laid the first wreath at the Cenotaph in central London.
The monarch joined more than 10,000 veterans plus political, Commonwealth and religious leaders at the ceremony.
Services have taken place at memorials across the UK, in Commonwealth countries and at military bases abroad.

Saw lots of the old veterans out and about this weekend as usual mixed with what seemed like a lot more young people in uniforms than normal. As one decorated old guy said thank you for our donation I could only say "No. Thank you!"
So glad the sun's out today as we remember all the sacrifice - we're off to our local war memorial now to spend a few moments reflecting.
