armistice

Armistice Day has been marked with two minutes of silence across the UK and in Europe.

It marks the time and date when the World War One armistice came into effect.

While the Armistice Day tradition began as a way of commemorating those killed in World War One, it is now used to remember all the people killed in wars since then.

In Wales, Carmarthenshire County Council said it would illuminate County Hall on Armistice Day evening to "reflect and remember the sacrifices of our armed forces, and all those whose lives have been lost in conflict and acts of terror".

She added that she was unable to attend an Armistice Day event at Stormont later on Monday, but that other Sinn Féin politicians would take part.
