Millions of people around the world will commemorate the anniversary of the end of the First World War as part of Remembrance Sunday events this weekend.
London is playing host to a series of memorial services and tributes, offering those in the capital the chance to pay their respects.
The UK has traditionally held a two minute silence at 11am on the Sunday closest to Armistice Day (November 11), which commemorates the end to fighting on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in 1918. It will be observed this year on Sunday November 10.
Cenotaph memorial service and parade
The most high-profile memorial event in London is the service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, with the Royal British Legion coordinating the March Past.
The service begins at 11am, although the Cenotaph will be open to the public from 8am for those wishing to secure a position near the monument.
The Royal British Legion detachments form up on Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall from 9am, before the two minute silence at 11am. For more information, head here.
