UK falls silent for Remembrance Sunday - BBC News

The UK has fallen silent as it remembered those who died in past conflicts on Remembrance Sunday.

The Queen was due to attend the National Service of Remembrance in London, but was forced to pull out after spraining her back.

Prince Charles laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on her behalf, as he has done since 2017.

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and The Princess Royal also attended.

I was in the gym at 11 when the silence started. I was the only person to stop my session, walk over before hand and observe BBC News to the tv. Everyone else sadly didn't even bother. Such a sad and selfish world at times. R.I.P all our fallen heroes.

I really wonder how does it feel to see your child at the age of 73 and you are still alive.

The fallen heroes who gave their lives for future generations to live free. They fought for freedom but being squandered today. Year 2020, 2021 people don't live free. Those politicians are no longer quality to stand there to remeber those fallen heroes.

This is an amazing thing to do. It’s observed in workplaces and schools around the country, two minutes of everyone stopping and remembering those who sacrificed so much so we could live the life we do today.

Rest in peace to all those who fought for our country
