This year's commemorations include the recently restored Big Ben striking 11 times.

The UK will mark Armistice Day with a two-minute silence on Friday.

During the service, which the Prince and Princess of Wales will also attend, King Charles will lay a poppy wreath incorporating a ribbon of his racing colours of scarlet, purple and gold. A wreath will also be laid on behalf of Queen Consort for the first time, while she watches from the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office building.

Big Ben will strike 11 times at 11:00 GMT on Friday and also on Remembrance Sunday to mark the beginning of the two minutes silence.
