When is minute’s silence and what do the red poppies symbolise? - The National Service of Remembrance will be held at Whitehall today

People from across the borough observed a two-minute silence to mark Armistice Day outside Blackburn Town Hall. Services commemorating Remembrance Sunday were held over the weekend in Blackburn and Darwen to remember those in our armed forces who have fallen in past and current wars.

Residents across the Bradford district fell silent this Armistice Day to remember those who have given their lives in conflict.
