Richmond fell silent today at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month to mark the end of the First World War and to also remember those who have died during conflict.

Armistice Day or Remembrance Day gives people a chance to remember friends and family who died during war as well as giving them an opportunity honour and respect the dead.
