What is an anniversary?
A two-minute silence was held at 11 am on November 11, which marked the day the armistice agreement was signed between the Allied forces and Germany, thus ending the First World War.
This is a tradition initiated by King George V in 1919 and was originally called Armistice Day.
The armistice took place at 11 o’clock on November 11, 1918, which is why Britain observes a two-minute silence at 11 o’clock in the morning on November 11 every year.
It was signed at Compiègne in northern France, forcing the Germans to evacuate the invaded country within two weeks.
However, after the outbreak of World War II, many countries changed the name of this day, and some members of the Commonwealth chose to call it a day of remembrance. In the UK, it is now called both.
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Day is held on the Sunday closest to Armistice Day, and ceremonies are held in war memorials across the country.
A national memorial service attended by members of the royal family, government members and representatives of the armed forces was held at the memorial in Whitehall at 11 am.
The Royal Navy Bugle marked the beginning of silence by playing The Last Post and The Rouse and ended with the Royal Cavalry Artillery Salute.
