Armistice Day Events Marked by Disruptions

Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday were marked across the UK and internationally with ceremonies paying tribute to those who lost their lives in World Wars and other conflicts. A traditional two-minute silence was observed in various locations, including Bradford, South London, Lincoln, and Paris, where Sir Keir Starmer participated. However, some events were disrupted, such as in Reading by a protestor and at a Celtic football match where fans interrupted the silence to protest British policies. In Paris, Starmer became the first British leader since Churchill to attend the Champs-Élysées ceremony. These commemorations serve as a reminder of the ongoing impact of war and the importance of remembering fallen service personnel worldwide.
