Read the original article on thesun.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Sun gives readers the time of the Armistice Day two-minute silence, 11am, and explains why it is held then and where the custom came from. The history it gives, including the move to Remembrance Sunday after the Second World War and the return to 11 November in 1995, is set out plainly. Nothing in it misleads.
“Today’s silence will take place at precisely 11am.”
It answers the question in its headline directly and accurately, matching the same day's reports of the silence held across the country.
“It’s held at that time to mark when fighting officially concluded on the Western Front of World War One.”
It gives the reason for the timing in concrete terms rather than leaving it as ritual.
“the Royal British Legion successfully campaigned to reintroduce the silence on Armistice Day”
It names who brought the weekday silence back, so the reader learns the custom was not continuous on 11 November.
