The UK has fallen silent to mark Armistice Day, commemorating the end of World War One.

The two-minute silence took place to mark the end of the war and to remember those who have died in conflicts.

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting laid a wreath at the Cenotaph memorial in London, which was also attended by senior military figures, schoolchildren and cadets.

In Staffordshire, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester also laid a wreath during the service at the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens.
