PEOPLE across Worcestershire fell silent at 11am to remember those who fought and died for Britain.

Services were being held across the county while schools, workplaces and homes observed a two-minutes silence on the 11th hour on the 11th day.

It marked the time in 1918 when the guns fell silent on the Western Front.

Dignitaries gathered at the War Memorial at Worcester Cathedral from 10.50am for a service while the county's high streets also fell silent.

Staff working for all titles at Worcester News' offices on Hylton Road paid their respects by observing the silence at 11am.
