Thousands of people across Nottinghamshire have fallen silent to mark Armistice Day
The city and county came to a standstill at 11am for the nationally-held two-minute silence – exactly 97 years after the end of the First World War.
The act of remembrance takes place every year on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month – the same time in 1918 that guns fell silent on the Western Front.
Ceremonies were held at Old Market Square, County Hall and across the county.
Some workplaces fell silent, and many other people simply stood silent in the street as clocks struck 11.

-King George V declared in 1919 there would be a national silence on the date. It is still observed every year on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month
