David Dimbleby presents live coverage from the Cenotaph as representatives of the royal family, the government, the Commonwealth and the armed forces gather in Westminster for the National Service of Remembrance. 

The two-minute silence at 11am is followed by wreath-laying at the foot of the Cenotaph as the nation remembers all those who died serving their country.
