As Armistice Day approaches, it is a time to reflect and remember those we have lost in service and show our support to serving and former members of the Armed Forces and their families.
November 11, which is also recognised at Remembrance Day, will see a two minutes silence held across the country at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
And Remembrance Sunday falls on November 14.
During the pandemic last year, there was only one invitation-only service on Remembrance Sunday.

But as restrictions have eased, this year there will be eight services across the borough, all of which will be open to the public.
However, in line with current guidance, people are asked not to attend if they have symptoms of Covid-19. Residents are also being asked to take a lateral flow test beforehand and not to attend if the test is positive in order to minimise the risk of infection.
