Communities across Conwy and North Wales will pause tomorrow to remember those who have lost their lives in conflict, as part of the annual Armistice Day commemorations.

The traditional Two Minute Silence will take place at 11am on Wednesday November 11th, marking the moment the armistice came into effect in 1918, bringing fighting in the First World War to an end.

The occasion, observed at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, provides an opportunity to remember members of the armed forces and civilians who have died in wars and conflicts.

Bayside Radio will be among the organisations marking the occasion, observing two minutes of silence on air at 11am and inviting listeners across the North Wales coast to pause for two minutes to pay their respects to those who have lost their lives in conflict.

Conwy County Borough Council is also supporting the Royal British Legion's nationwide observance.

Councillor Trystan Lewis, Chair of Conwy County Borough Council, said: "I hope others in the community, whether they are at work or at home, will join us in observing two minutes silence to pay tribute to those who have lost their lives in conflict.”

The silence is observed each year on Armistice Day, while Remembrance Sunday provides a further opportunity for communities to come together at local services and memorials to honour the fallen.
