Armistice Day marked with silence

Remembrance parade at Kirkwall War Memorial, St. Magnus Cathedral. 11/11/15 Tom O'Brien

A two-minute silence was observed during the Armistice Day service at the Kirkwall War Memorial this morning.

The silence began at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month – the time in 1918 when the guns fell silent along the Western Front in Europe.
