continue with our spiral special coverage of armistice day. as we watch the events at the cenotaph, particularly poignant because fewer and fewer of the veterans are present. and of course, these are at the heart of all of these commemorations, the veterans themselves. just yesterday, during the match passed —— the march past the cenotaph on sunday, there were six surviving veterans of d—day. incredibly poignant to have them there and remembrance sunday. and today on armistice day as we remember the end of the first world war. we mark those who fell and we think about those few remaining veterans, and of course we think about members of the armed forces and all of those who lost so much during the war

is that we have seen. we are going to move to the events taking place in edinburgh, where also, that two—minute silence was marked at 11 o'clock and events taking place across the country. we can cross over and out of the national arboretum. there, a moment was held where members of the royal family took part as well. sophie, the duchess of edinburgh is their leading those events at the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire, a place that has been specifically designed to help people reflect, to help people commemorate those who have lost their lives in service. also to help people remember and celebrate those who lost third and gave up
