Most services will be held this weekend, on Remembrance Sunday, which commemorates the service of armed forces personnel from Britain and the Commonwealth.

This year, this falls on Sunday, with some events also planned for Armistice Day on Tuesday.

The traditional poppy, usually worn from the last Friday in October until the end of Remembrance Day, is available to buy at most supermarkets, with stalls available in locations including the Victoria Centre.
