Around the UK, people observed the annual two minutes' silence at 11:00 GMT to mark the day in 1918 when World War One ended.
The tradition of two minutes' silence to remember the dead began exactly a year after the end of World War One.
The coronavirus pandemic affected commemorations this year, although remembrance services and events were allowed, provided there were strict social distancing measures.
