A Banksy -style mural of two soldiers surrounded by red poppies has been painted on a pub wall by a mystery artist, as the country marks Remembrance Day.
The black and white figures appeared on the brick wall of the Dog and Partridge in Ashton-under-Lyne on Wednesday.
One of the soldiers is kneeling on the ground holding his ears while the other, round the corner, holds a mortar.
The anonymous artist also painted red poppies up the outside wall of the pub.
Pub landlord Adam Wells, 26, believed that the mural was painted by a local artist called 'Mr Eggs.'
Adam said: "It's not just random graffiti, it's just a tasteful mural really that's next to a memorial.
"We're more than happy with it really, it's tasteful and respectful.
"We work with the British Legion and try and support them as much as we can and they've messaged and are more than happy with it being there.
"There is a big service at the pub every Remembrance Day so the mural will be part of the memorial service which we support."
Britain fell silent on Friday morning as the country came together to remember the nation's war heroes who died in battle.
Millions of people from every corner of the country paused at 11am, as poignant services were held across the UK.
Marking 103 years since the first two-minute silence was observed on Armistice Day, on November 11 1919, the nation fell still to reflect again.
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester attended the National Memorial Arboretum Armistice Day Service in Staffordshire.
Memorial services are also being held in London, Belfast, Edinburgh and Portsmouth to remember those who have lost their lives in military conflicts.
In Edinburgh, veterans, serving personnel and the public joined the city’s depute lord provost to pay tribute at the city’s Garden of Remembrance.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer marked the moment at Euston Station, in central London.
