Armistice Day has been marked with two minutes of silence across the UK and in Europe.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer joined an event in Paris, while Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, led the ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
Sir Keir and the French president laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe in the French capital.
Across the UK, the traditional two-minute silence at 11:00 on 11 November was observed. It marks the time and date when the World War One armistice came into effect.
While the Armistice Day tradition began as a way of commemorating those killed in World War One, it is now used to remember all the people killed in wars since then.
