Towns and villages have fallen silent to remember the members of our armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
Memorial services took place across the boroughs of Watford, Three Rivers, and Hertsmere, on Remembrance Sunday where wreaths were laid and two minute silences were held.
At 11am today, the country fell silent again to commemorate the anniversary of the armistice which marked the end of World War One - 100 years ago.
On Sunday afternoon, a parade and remembrance event took place outside Watford town hall.

The families of fallen servicemen Corporal Chris Harrison from Garston and Captain Tom Sawyer from Watford, were guests at the ceremony which began at 3pm.
Chairman of Watford Borough Council Cllr Asif Khan introduced the service before Mayor of Watford Peter Taylor read out the act of remembrance.

A rendition of the Last Post sounded and then the audience paused for two minutes to pay their respects to members of the armed forces who have lost their lives in battle.
Maurice Saunders from the Royal British Legion quoted the epitaph "For your tomorrow, we gave our today".
Wreaths were laid at Watford War Memorial while students from Beechfield School accompanied vice chairman of the council Cllr Aga Dychton to lay a wreath at the Anne Frank Memorial Tree, in remembrance of all the children killed as a result of war and conflict.
