Every week we take a look at some of the top press photos of the week as captured by Press Association photographers around the world.

Our selection this week features images from the events and anniversaries of the week, with Remembrance Sunday services and the horse racing in Cheltenham.

The low light caused by the early evenings in winter allows photographers to capture some powerful silhouetted images.
