Remembrance Sunday is a day when people around the UK spend time remembering those who have died in wars across the world.

The day has been marked since the end of World War One, on November 11, 1918 - now known as Armistice Day.

Two minutes of silence are observed across the country at 11am on the second Sunday of November every year.

In London members of the armed services, veterans, the royal family and senior politicians attend a ceremonial event.

A parade is held at the Cenotaph - a monument to people who have given their lives in conflict since World War One.
