Staffordshire and Cheshire to fall silent on Remembrance Sunday

Services and parades will take place across Staffordshire and Cheshire today to mark Remembrance Sunday - including Stafford's Victoria Square and Stoke Cenotaph.

Thousands of veterans and their families will also fill Staffordshire's National Memorial Arboretum for fanfare, poetry and special readings.

At 11am today (10th November) a two-minute silence will be observed across the country to remember those who have died in military conflicts.

Similar to Armistice Day, two minutes silence will be observed at 11:00 between two bugle calls, 'The Last Post and 'The Reveille.'

Following the two-minute silence the King is expected to be the first to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in London on behalf of the nation.

There will be parades from veterans, various military groups, charities, marching bands and members of the public.
