Armistice Day Commemorated Across Europe and the UK

Armistice Day, observed across the UK and Europe, featured two minutes of silence to honor those killed in wars.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer attended a ceremony in Paris, alongside French President laying a wreath at the Arc de Triomphe.

In the UK, ceremonies ranged from the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, led by Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, to events in cities like Bristol, Cambridge, and Liverpool.

The Duchess recited Laurence Binyon's poem 'For the Fallen' before laying poppy wreaths with Defence Minister Maria Eagle.

Glasgow Central Station hosted a procession, and Westminster's event saw the attendance of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

In Wales, Carmarthenshire County Council illuminated County Hall to honor fallen soldiers.

Over the weekend, Remembrance Sunday events were held, with King Charles leading the nation in a moment of silence.

In Belfast, controversy arose when Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill attended a Remembrance Day service, facing criticism from party members.

Despite facing backlash, O'Neill expressed her commitment to representing all people in her role.
