Graphic: BriefTea
Armistice Day, which saw fighting stop on the Western Front at 11am on 11 November 1918, was observed on Wednesday with a national silence. A ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall was attended by members of the government, high-ranking international military personnel, pupils, and cadets. Remembrance Sunday fell on 8 November this year, so many councils held their main services then.
