Royal British Legion president Philip Morrison presided at the short commemoration
"Thank you for coming here this morning to support the Royal British Legion's call for a two-minute silence," he told those gathered in the grounds of City Hall.
"On this the anniversary of the guns falling silent in the First World War, we reflect on the cost of that conflict and indeed the human cost of all conflict." Mr Morrison then read the Binyon poetry before a bugler player the last post. The crowd then stood for the two-minute silence, replicating scenes witnessed across the UK."It was a time to reflect on the tragedies of war and I was honoured to be there, and it did feel like a fitting ceremony," she said.
Party figures have previously cited concerns about excessive British military trappings on show at Remembrance Sunday events.
