More than one million men and women from Britain and the Commonwealth died in World War I between 1914 and 1918, and nearly 500,000 in World War II from 1939 to 1945.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11th November 1918, to signal the end of World War One.

At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare.

There are only two cenotaphs in Britain. There is the one in Whitehall, London and the other one is in Aberdare, Wales.

I Shall be at the Aberdare Cenotaph at 11am to pay tribute.

We had a great service today in remembrance of the brave people who sacrificed for us. Today was a good day to reflect and realise the good things we might take for granted, our freedom included.
