Wales will fall silent today as the country remembers those who have fought in wars over the last century.

Veterans, army cadets and serving soldiers will join communities across the country to commemorate thousands of fallen soldiers.

Events are taking place throughout Wales with Remembrance Parades being held in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Wrexham.

A two-minute silence will be held at 11am to mark the ending of the Great War in 1918.
