Towns and villages will fall silent once again as communities hold Remembrance services to commemorate the lives of those who have fallen in conflicts around the world.

Armistice Day, now generally called Remembrance Day, will see millions of people stop what they are doing and observe a two-minute silence at 11am on Sunday November 11.

Royal British Legion branches, local councils, churches and community groups will be holding various ceremonies and services to pay their respects.
