Age shall not wither them
Remembrance Sunday services took place across the country yesterday to pay respects to Britain’s war dead, marking the anniversary of the end of the First World War.
Two-minute silences were held throughout the UK at 11am, following earlier services at military camps in Afghanistan, where flags flew at half-mast on a day when another British casualty was announced.
In the City, a service was held outside the Royal Exchange, while the Queen also laid a wreath at the Cenotaph as part of the annual ceremony for those killed in war.
She was joined by Prince Harry who was laying a wreath on behalf of Prince Charles, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, David Cameron, and Nick Clegg.
A total of 231 British troops have been killed in Afghanistan, with 109 of those dying since the last Remembrance Sunday.
