Councillor Roy Perry, leader of the council, said: '˜Every year, towns and villages across the county join others worldwide in falling silent to mark Armistice Day. 

'˜Even 100 years on, we can still feel how Hampshire was changed by the Great War; the tremendous losses during the war, and the years of hardship that followed, all left their mark.

'˜It is fitting we now remember the courage of those who fought in the conflict.'
