The Daily Mail combines its commemoration of those who died 100 years ago with a contemporary plea. "Treat TODAY'S heroes with the dignity they deserve," the paper says. Images of the Queen, the Duchess of Sussex and the Duchess of Cambridge with their eyes closed in prayer accompany the story.

A striking image takes up half of the Daily Telegraph front page. At a sandy cove in Cornwall, the waves roll in towards a beach portrait of Lieutenant Richard Charles Graves-Sawle, killed at the Battle of Ypres. "Their past is our future," the paper says.

The Armistice is represented on the front page of the Sun with images of the Royal Family at the commemorations. The main story says a mother and daughter have been forced to live in a hospital room for 15 months while waiting for a council home. "National Hotel Service," as the headline puts it.

Photographs of the Royal Family at prayer also mark the Armistice in the Daily Star. Its main story previews Coronation Street's Christmas storylines, with producers promising "big heartbreaking stories" and "a huge shock" alongside lighter moments.
