Remembrance Day: Edinburgh Armistice Day service called off

People across Scotland marked Remembrance Day by falling silent for two minutes at 11:00.

An Armistice Day service of remembrance in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens was called off due to high winds - but many still gathered at the capital's war memorial to pay their respects.

Poppyscotland said the decision was taken by City of Edinburgh Council and a service was instead held at the charity's headquarters and broadcast live on Facebook.

Elsewhere First Minister Nicola Sturgeon marked the occasion in Blackpool, where the British-Irish Council have been meeting.
