A series of events are being held across Wales to commemorate a weekend of remembrance, starting with Armistice Day on Saturday.
It marked the end of World War One, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.
A special "silence" was held at Swansea's Castle Square and there is a service at a Brecon Beacons cairn.
Wales' national observance of remembrance will take place in Cardiff on Sunday.
Swansea council's "Silence in the Square" included performances from groups including the Swansea Philharmonic Choir.
