UK and Europe mark 100 years since end of World War One
Video report by ITV News correspondent Emma Murphy
Britain fell silent at 11am on Sunday to mark 100 years since the end of World War One.
The Prince of Wales lead the tributes, laying a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of his mother for the second year in a row, while an equerry laid a wreath on behalf of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Ten thousand people took part in a procession past the Cenotaph following the wreath laying.
Events took place across the UK and Europe to mark the centenary of the Armistice, when the treaty was signed which ended the battle on the Western Front at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
On Sunday evening, the royal family attended a service in Westminster Abbey, where the Queen was joined by President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
The Queen, dressed in purple, and Mr Steinmeier watched as flowers were laid at the grave of The Unknown Warrior, later shaking hands at the end of the service.
In Paris, President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel joined French President Emmanuel Macron and more than 60 other leaders at a ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe a century after the guns fell silent.
Many of the leaders walked side by side along the Champs-Élysées in a somber, rain-soaked line as bells finished tolling. Mr Trump and Mr Putin arrived separately.
The leaders missed the exact moment to commemorate the armistice as they were running late.

In other events marking the centenary, the faces of more than 30 British service people who died during World War One were etched into the sandat a number of beaches.
The portraits, part of filmmaker Danny Boyle’s UK-wide 'Pages of the Sea' project, were then washed away by the tide.
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon laid a wreath at the Stone of Remembrance in Edinburgh, before attending a service at the city’s St Giles Cathedral.
One of the biggest acts of Remembrance in Northern Ireland took place at the cenotaph at Belfast City Hall.
It was attended by Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley and Ireland's deputy premier Simon Coveney.
