Pupils from Eden Girls' School hold poppies as they wait to observe a two minute silence in honour of Armistice Day in central London on November 11, 2016. In the run-up to Armistice Day, many Britons wear a paper red poppy – symbolising the poppies which grew on French and Belgian battlefields during World War I – in their lapels.
