Today is Remembrance Sunday, a day of reflection when the nation unites to make sure that no-one is forgotten and to remember and honour those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom.
This year people are being encouraged to mark Remembrance Sunday by taking part in remote and socially distanced remembrance activity - pausing for the Two Minute Silence in their home or on their doorsteps.
Here are our readers' photos of their loved ones who took part over the years on active service at home and abroad as conscript and volunteers.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
