Also at the ceremony was 93-year-old Dorothy Ellis - thought to be the last surviving widow of a World War One veteran. Her husband Wilfred Ellis survived the war despite being shot, gassed and left for dead.
Mrs Ellis said her husband (pictured), felt very strongly about the significance of Armistice Day. "He said to me 'you've got to remember this is the day that thousands of poor chaps died for us to keep us alive,'" she said.
