MONDAY, November 11 marks 100 years of remembrance for those who served and died in the First World War.
As we progress through time, it also becomes a memorial for those who died in the Second World War and the Falklands as well as the many conflicts British soldiers have been involved in.
The day is marked by an annual remembrance day service on the Sunday closest to the 11th in most towns and cities across the UK.
