People across Derbyshire & the UK set to mark Armistice Day

People across Derbyshire & the rest of the UK are being asked to take part in a two-minutes' silence at 11am today.

It's to mark Armistice Day, which is when an agreement was made back in 1918 to end the fighting in the first world war.

People will be gathering in Derby and at The National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

We are being told today is also a chance to remember those who lost their lives during the pandemic.
