Durham Cathedral remembers ‘those caught in conflict today’

The Very Reverend Dr Philip Plyming, dean of Durham Cathedral, said the event also paid tribute to those “caught up in conflict throughout the world today on our continent and the wider world”.

He added people had brought their prayers and hopes to the cathedral for more than 900 years and it was “entirely appropriate” that people brought the memories of those who had died, as well as their prayers for peace.

At 11:00 GMT a two-minute silence was held at cenotaphs across the country to mark 106 years since the end of World War One, and remember those who had fallen and suffered in conflict.

Crowds gathered in Carlisle city centre, Cumbria, at the newly relocated cenotaph to mark the commemorations.
