Royals mark 99th anniversary of end of WWI

Millions of people fell silent as events were held across the UK on Saturday to mark the 99th anniversary of the end of WWI.

The Queen and senior royals have joined servicemen and women past and present at the annual Festival of Remembrance as Britain remembered its war dead on Armistice Day.

The monarch was joined at the Royal Albert Hall in London by thousands of veterans for the 90th anniversary of the event, organised by the Royal British Legion, of which she is patron.





A special tribute was held in honour of former Forces' Sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn, who celebrated her 100th birthday this year.

The Queen was accompanied by Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince William and Kate, Prince Andrew and Princess Anne.
