War veterans, descendants and grateful members of the public have marched through the streets of London as part of a 'nation's thank you' to those who fought in the Great War. More than 10,000 people from across the country joined together on the Mall and made their way around St James' Park for Remembrance Sunday. Among the oldest taking part in the march is private Donald Smith, 98, who joined current members of the Queen's Own Highlanders, and  Jeff Watkins, 97, who travelled from California in the United States to participate. At the same time as the march, people were encouraged to ring bells around the world, to replicate the spontaneous outpouring of relief that took place in 1918. As news of peace spread on Armistice Day, church bells, which had fallen silent across the UK during the First World War, rang out in celebration.
