The Queen has been leading commemorations at The Cenotaph in Whitehall
A two-minute silence has been held to mark Remembrance Sunday.
Services are taking place across the country to honour all those who have died in conflict.
The Queen is leading the commemorations at the Cenotaph in London. Prime Minister Theresa May and other party leaders are also attending.
The Queen laid the first wreath, followed by the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales.
Princes Andrew, Harry and William, who have all served in the military, paid their respects
The Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Cornwall and the Countess of Wessex attended the service
The Queen laid the first wreath at the foot of the Cenotaph, followed by the Duke of Edinburgh
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Prime Minister Theresa May also laid wreaths
More than 700 soldiers, sailors and members of the RAF have lined Whitehall.
Detachments from units such as the Royal Marines, Household Cavalry and Royal Gurkha Rifles are flanking the stone memorial.
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson laid a wreath for the overseas territories put together by Kew Gardens
All branches of the UK military were represented at the main London ceremony
The Last Post was played in tribute to the British military dead
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is attending the annual wreath laying and Remembrance Sunday service at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.
The Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster are attending a Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Enniskillen, Fermanagh.
And there is a National Service of Remembrance for Wales at Cathays Park in Cardiff.
Elsewhere, more than 40,000 knitted poppies have been placed on a Remembrance Day parade route in Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
The organisers said volunteers had sent in knitted and crocheted flowers from all over the world.
In Croydon, south London, where seven people were killed and 50 injured after a tram derailed earlier this week, special prayers are being said for those affected.
Images of poppies will be projected onto the Queen Elizabeth Tower at Parliament on Sunday afternoon.
Remembrance Sunday
Remembrance Sunday always falls on the second Sunday of November
The artificial poppy was adopted and popularised in 1921 by Douglas Haig and the Royal British Legion
In 1947 it was agreed that both World War One and World War Two would be remembered on just one national day, Remembrance Sunday
Servicemen and women in Fort William, Highland, remembered the fallen
The Royal Artillery at Horse Guards Parade marked the end of the commemorative silence
Chelsea Pensioners were also on hand to pay their respects at the main London ceremony
The prime minister has said the day is not only about honouring the dead but also for paying tribute to those members of the armed forces currently on active service combating Islamic State.
Mrs May said: "The way of life we enjoy today depends upon the service offered by members of the armed forces and their families.
"Across generations, and in every corner of the UK, today we remember those who gave so much for our values, our democracy, and our nation."
Brothers in arms
Brothers Second Lieutenant Leonard Tregaskis and Lieutenant Arthur Tregaskis died on 7 July 2016
The Imperial War Museums are releasing letters, photographs and memoirs donated by families of soldiers killed in the Battle of the Somme in 1916, the bloodiest clash in World War One.
The documents originally formed part of the museum's Bond of Sacrifice collection dating from its formation in 1917.
Contributions included a photograph of two brothers who it is said were within 50 yards of each other when one was wounded and the other rushed to his aid and was shot.
They died in each other's arms, and their mother received one telegram in the morning informing her of one son's death, and later the same day, another telegram telling her the other son had died.
The documents will now be part of the Lives of the First World War digital memorial.
Festival of Remembrance
The annual Festival of Remembrance was held at the Royal Albert Hall last night and was shown live on BBC One
The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines performs
Michael Ball and Alfie Boe performed together, singing You'll Never Walk Alone
At the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening, the Queen and other members of the Royal Family stood to applaud a procession of bereaved families.
It came after the audience heard the story of Cyrus Thatcher, who was killed in 2009 aged 19 while fighting as a rifleman in Afghanistan.
The Queen and the rest of the royal box joined the standing ovation as his parents, Helena Tym and Robin Thatcher, led a procession of bereaved families through the hall.
This year the event marked the centenaries of the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Jutland, the 25th anniversary of the Gulf War and the 80th anniversary of the first flight of the Supermarine Spitfire.
Thousands of poppies fluttered to the ground from the hall's domed roof as the room observed a two-minute silence.
