Remembrance Around The World: In Photos

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the First World War Armistice was signed.

Every year since we have remembered those who have given their lives for peace and freedom.

Ceremonies were held at home and abroad in locations including the UK, Kandahar and Sierra Leone.

Thousands of current and former military personnel joined the Queen, together with the main party leaders, who also laid wreaths.

The Queen was the first to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph, followed by other members of the Royal Family, Prime Minister David Cameron, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, and opposition leader Ed Miliband.

The Queen led the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London with the Royal Family and Chief of Staffs in attendance, as commemorations were held across the UK in honour of those who died in wars and conflicts.

Armed Forces in the South West joined the nation in honouring the lives and sacrifice of the fallen and those that have been injured in the line of duty during the First World War and in conflicts since, to demonstrate that they have not been forgotten.

Today's Armed Forces continue the proud traditions of service and achievement of those who have gone before them, with the support of their families and friends.

The UK's military continues to fulfil its duties across the world in defence of the country. 

In Glasgow, a two-minute silence was observed at the cenotaph in George Square

Lord Provost Sadie Docherty led the ceremony in her role as Lord Lieutenant while the minister of Glasgow Cathedral, Rev Dr Laurence Whitley, led prayers.

A Guard of Honour was provided by 52nd Lowland, 6th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, with music from the Lowland Band, the Royal Regiment of Scotland, and Glasgow Youth Choir.

One of the largest events in the region was the Plymouth Civic Service on Sunday at the Naval Memorial on the Hoe. Commodore Graeme Little, Plymouth Naval Base commander, was among civic dignitaries at the service. 

A century after the outbreak of the First World War, UK soldiers deployed to Sierra Leone paused briefly in the fight against Ebola to remember those that have fallen in conflicts past.

The day started with Brigadier Steve McMahon MBE, Commander Vanguard Enabling Group in Sierra Leone, laying a wreath at the King Tom cemetery before proceeding to the Remembrance Parade at the Cenotaph in Freetown.

As the nation gathered this morning to pay its respects to the fallen of the two World Wars and conflicts throughout the decades since, Prince Harry stood alongside Service personnel in Kandahar, leading tributes on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen.

Prince Harry flew into Kandahar Airfield for the main Remembrance Sunday service as UK forces prepare for the final phrase of the UK redeployment from southern Afghanistan. 

As a representative for Her Majesty The Queen, he laid a personal wreath and gave a reading before lining up with fellow Servicemen and women for the Last Post and Reveille played by musicians from the Royal Artillery band. 

Following attendance by Members of the Royal Family at The Cenotaph, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, Colonel, Welsh Guards, then visited Wellington Barracks to meet service personnel and members of the Welsh Guards Association. 

Escorted by Major General Robert Talbot-Rice, Head of Combat Tracks Group, The Prince met Major Kevin Roberts, Director of Music, for The Welsh Guards Band, and laughed and joked with band members before joining a reception and stand up lunch for service personnel. 

After the service The Prince, dressed in traditional attire for Welsh Guards Remembrance Sunday of suits, medals, furled umbrellas and bowler hats, chose to join serving and former members of the regiment for the march down Birdcage Walk to the Guards' Memorial on Horse Guards Parade. 

At the memorial, erected to commemorate all those members of the Household Division who died in the First World War and in the service of their country since 1918, His Royal Highness took the salute before laying a wreath and watching the march past.
