Remembrance Sunday commemorates those who have chosen to serve Great Britain and the men and women who never returned to their loved ones.

Every year in November, Britain marks the wars that have scarred our past and the bravery of those who fought them.

In Britain, it is tradition to pause for a two minute silence at 11am on November 11, Armistice Day, to remember those killed in the two world wars and the British servicemen killed or injured since 1945.

On Remembrance Sunday, which always falls on the second Sunday in November, commemoration services are held to remember not just those who fought, but what they fought for.

Here are some of the stories of extraordinary service and bravery behind the four Victoria Crosses (VCs) awarded to British Army soldiers since the Falklands conflict.
