Armistice Day marked by royalty

THE Princess of Wales led the nation yesterday in a poignant two-minute silence in remembrance of the fallen on Armistice Day.

Kate stood silent, still and deep in thought, as she joined military veterans in honouring the war dead at the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, before laying a wreath in memory of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Poignant services were held across the country on the anniversary of the end of the First World War, with the silence observed at 11am to remember those who have died in military conflicts.
