Newcastle paused on Friday to honour those who lost their lives fighting for their country.
The city fell silent at 11am to join a nationwide two-minute silence, with members of the public gathering at War Memorials to pay their respects on Armistice Day. 'The Response' War Memorial at Newcastle Civic Centre and the City War Memoria at Old Eldon Square were just some of the sites where people gathered to remember those who served in the Armed Forces.
The Lord Mayor of Newcastle, Coun Karen Robinson, joined veterans and members of the public at Old Eldon Square in paying their respects. Many people chose to wear poppies while others decided to lay a wreath ahead of the two-minute silence.
