Communities across Scotland fell silent in remembrance of those who have lost their lives in conflicts across the world. In Edinburgh, First Minister John Swinney was joined by veterans and the city’s lord provost in laying a wreath at the stone of remembrance outside the city chambers.

King Charles, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and new Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch were among those who laid wreaths at the Cenotaph in London.

Two Army veterans will take their place among thousands marching in front of the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
