Armistice Day Sees Britain Fall Silent To Remember Nation's War Dead

Millions of Britons fell silent for two minutes this morning to remember the nation’s war dead on Armistice Day. Big Ben - which has been silent since August while it undergoes major repairs - chimed at 11am to mark the occasion. Meanwhile, services were held around the UK to observe 99 years since the end of the First World War. Later today, the Queen and other members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Royal Festival of Remembrance, the Press Association reported.&
