Scotland pauses to pay respects on Armistice Day

People across Scotland have fallen silent to commemorate those who died in military conflicts.

Wreaths were laid at war memorials across the country, including the Garden of Remembrance in Edinburgh.

A two-minute silence is held every year on 11 November at 11:00 GMT to mark the end of World War One in 1918.

The silence is held then because the end of hostilities with Germany was declared "on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month".
