The Queen and members of parliament will pay their respects to the UK's fallen soldiers on Remembrance Sunday.
They will be joined at the Cenotaph in London by religious leaders and war veterans for a wreath-laying ceremony.
This will commemorate British and Commonwealth servicemen and women who died in world wars and other conflicts.
British forces across the world, including 9,500 soldiers on duty in Afghanistan, will also pause to remember the fallen.
The Queen will be joined at the Cenotaph by Prime Minister David Cameron and Labour leader Ed Miliband, and other members of the Royal Family.
And the country will observe a two-minute silence as Big Ben strikes the eleventh hour in London.
This year Remembrance Sunday falls on 11 November itself, the date of the armistice which brought World War I to an end.
Apart from the poppy wreaths being laid at the steps of the Cenotaph, there will be services across the country, including at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh and Enniskillen in County Fermanagh.
All veterans from World War I have now died - Florence Green, from King's Lynn, Norfolk, who served as a mess steward at RAF bases in Marham and Narborough, died in February aged 110.
On Saturday, a Festival of Remembrance concert staged by the Royal British Legion was held at the Royal Albert Hall and attended by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the prime minister and Mr Miliband.
