A two-minute silence was held at the Cenotaph to remember those who have died in armed conflicts
A two-minute silence has been held to remember members of the British and Commonwealth's armed forces who have died during conflicts.
The Queen was joined by Prince Phillip and the Duchess of Cambridge at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
The country observed a two-minute silence as Big Ben struck the eleventh hour.
British forces across the world, including 9,500 soldiers in Afghanistan, also paused to remember.
The Queen laid a wreath, followed by the Countess of Wessex and the Princess Royal.
The former chief of the defence staff, Lord Guthrie, laid a wreath on behalf of the Prince of Wales, who is in Auckland, New Zealand.
This year Remembrance Sunday falls on 11 November itself, the date of the armistice which brought World War I to an end.
British servicemen and women in Helmand Province were able to attend a service at remote patrol bases or checkpoints.
For those working in the province many have already lost friends and comrades in Afghanistan.
The prime minister of the Republic of Ireland and his deputy took part in Remembrance Sunday services in Northern Ireland.
First Minister Carwyn Jones led Wales in its Remembrance Sunday commemorations in Cardiff.
Apart from the poppy wreaths being laid at the steps of the Cenotaph, there will be services across the country, including at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh and Enniskillen in County Fermanagh.
All veterans from World War I have now died - Florence Green, from King's Lynn, Norfolk, who served as a mess steward at RAF bases in Marham and Narborough, died in February aged 110.
On Saturday, a Festival of Remembrance concert staged by the Royal British Legion was held at the Royal Albert Hall and attended by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the prime minister and Mr Miliband.
