Armistice Day was solemnly observed across Europe with a two-minute silence at 11:00 AM on November 11, honoring those lost in World War One and subsequent conflicts. In the UK, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, led a ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum, reading from the poem ‘For the Fallen’. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer joined a wreath-laying in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron. Memorial events also highlighted the significance of the day with activities across major cities including London, Glasgow, and Dover, as well as reflections on the ongoing impact of war.
