Three faces stood out among the millions marking Armistice Day this year. Henry Allingham, Harry Patch and Bill Stone are among the four surviving British veterans of World War I. Henry Allingham, 112, Harry Patch, 110, and Bill Stone, 108, are among the last of the five million men and women who served in Britain's forces during the conflict. The knowledge that this was almost certainly the last significant anniversary the men will attend made the event particularly poignant.
In the United States, an annual Veterans Day ceremony will be held at Arlington cemetery near Washington at 1100 (1600 GMT), to honour those who have died in service to the US.
