World of sport remembers the fallen on Armistice Day

The world of sport has paid its respects on Armistice Day, joining the nation to remember those who lost their lives in war.

At 11.00am - marking the exact time when fighting ended in World War 1 98 years ago - the county fell silent for two minutes.

At Wembley - where England face Scotland in a World Cup Qualifier tonight - a wreath of poppies was laid on the turf, while delegations from the Football Association and the Scottish Football Association, led by chief executives Martin Glenn and Stewart Regan, congregated around the Bobby Moore statue.

England will wear black armbands emblazoned with a poppy in tonight's game, though FIFA has ruled that the poppy should not be displayed. 

England's players paid their respects at their pre-match base in Hertfordshire, while Wales' football squad paraded at The Cardiff City Stadium.

Wales coach Chris Coleman said: "We're very respectful of Remembrance Day, we know the sacrifices that were made by the men and women who lost their lives for us."

England's cricketers wore poppies as they took on India in the first Test in Rajkot.

Captain Alastair Cook said: "We want to show our appreciation and thank all of our Armed Forces personnel for the fantastic work they do, and their families who support them."

At Murrayfield, Scotland's rugby squad laid a wreath on the eve of their match with Australia.

Prince Harry led the silent tribute at the National Memorial Arboretum.
