Along with senior politicians and veterans and servicemen and women from the Army, Royal Air Force and Navy they were honoring all of those who have sacrificed their life for their country.

The Queen stood solemnly at 11 o'clock as the nation marked two-minutes of silence to honor those who perished defending the country.

After a cannon marked the end of the silence, the Queen approached the Cenotaph, laid a wreath and paused for a moment's reflection.
