Special services took place across the country today to remember those involved in World War 1.
The services marked the day when four years of war ended 91 years ago.
The war ended the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 and a service has been held to remember that moment every year since.
The Queen attended the Armistice Day memorial at Westminster Abbey in London and lead the country in a two minute silence at 11am.
The Armistice Day services remember and celebrate the lives of all the men and women who have died in conflicts since the World War 1 and a silence was also held at army base, Camp Bastion in Helmand Province, in Afghanistan at 11am local time.
What kids think of Armistice day
The memorial service has extra special significance this year as it is the first to be held since the death of all surviving First World War veterans in the UK.
Bill Stone, Henry Allingham and Harry Patch were the last three surviving men who had fought in the war living in the UK, they all died this year and the Queen remembered their lives and marked the passing of their generation.
Politicians and members of the public also attended services in London and other parts of the UK to mark the two minute silence.
