The Princess of Wales led the nation today in commemorating Armistice Day with a service of remembrance at the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum.
A two-minute silence was observed at 11:00, followed shortly afterwards by Her Royal Highness laying a wreath to honour and remember Armed Forces personnel who have served and made sacrifices for the nation.
