The Princess of Wales and the Queen have joined services to mark Armistice Day in the UK as events took place around the world.

Catherine stood at the ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, where the Last Post signalled the start of a national two-minute silence at 11:00 GMT to mark the end of World War One.

Queen Camilla was at Paddington Station in London for the wreath-laying ceremony, having travelled by train.

The Prince of Wales has also delivered a video message to young people, sharing his views on the importance of wearing a red poppy and to say that 'remembrance is for everyone.'

It was the first time Catherine had attended the service at the National Memorial Arboretum.

She laid a wreath in the centre of the armed forces memorial, watched by a crowd which included veterans and their families.

Catherine appeared to take a moment of reflection before returning to her seat where she bowed her head as the crowd prayed for those who had been affected by conflict.

The Prince of Wales' video message was aimed at children between nine and 14 in the UK. He stated: 'When we remember, we connect with service in a personal way. We learn from the courage of others, and we carry their stories forward, so they are not forgotten.'

Meanwhile, the service in Staffordshire featured the reading of a specially-commissioned poem by the arboretum's poet in residence, Arji Manuelpillai, titled 'A Sonnet For Us All.' This poem aims to capture the stories etched into the hundreds of memorials and encourages reflection on the emotions inspired by these sculptures.

Queen Camilla joined commuters on the 09:28 train from Chippenham to Paddington, where another service was held for service personnel and their families.

Later, William will join the King and Queen at Windsor Castle for a reception honoring veterans who served in the Pacific during the Second World War, tying it to the ongoing commemorations for the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. Elsewhere, French President Emmanuel Macron attended a wreath-laying ceremony in Paris, and Princess Anne was in Australia visiting Brisbane's Gallipoli Barracks.
