At 11am today, Sea Cadets will be observing a two minute silence in remembrance of all those who fell in the First World War.

Cadets across the country have been involved in commemorative parades and services to mark Remembrance Day, and to honour all those who have lost their lives in conflicts.

POC James from London Western District was given the honour of taking part in the World War One centenary at the Tower of London, where he met The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to help them plant a poppy. The iconic exhibition 'Blood Swept Lands' features more than 800,000 ceramic poppies pouring out of the tower and into the dry moat, and has been visited by thousands to pay their respects.
