England squads commemorate Armistice Day

Five England football squads come together to hold a two-minute silence to mark Armistice Day.

Five of England's football squads came together to hold a two-minute silence as part of Armistice Day at St George's Park this morning.

Roy Hodgson's senior squad were joined by the Under-21s, Under-20s, Under-19s and blind squad at 11am, as well as members of the Armed Forces, who laid wreaths in the centre-circle.

Wing commander Neil Hope MBE told the Football Association's website: "I am really pleased that RAF Shawbury and the Defence Helicopter Flying School were able to assist the Football Association and the England squads in remembering the fallen.

"It is important to remember those from the football family who, along with so many others, gave their lives during the Great War. We were proud to be able to stand together in Remembrance."


England's rugby team, the Wales national football team, and Scottish rugby side were among a number of other sports teams to halt their training sessions to mark the occasion earlier.
