01:44 Today is 11th of November, which is known as Armistice Day.
01:51 In a few moments it will be 11am, the time the guns fell silent to end the First World War in 1918.
02:06 Thank you for coming here this morning to support the Royal British Legion's call for a two minute silence.
02:16 On this, the anniversary of the guns falling silent in the First World War,
02:23 we reflect on the cost of that conflict and indeed the human cost of all conflict.
02:32 And we invite you to pause and remember those who have fallen.
02:40 At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
