The Manchester Evening News recently moved its editorial offices to the site of the Trinity Mirror plant at Chadderton, where the paper is printed every day.

Newspapers have been printed at the site of the former Ferranti factory since the late 1980s and it is one of the most advanced printing centres in the world.

Robots are used to carry around the rolls of newsprint and nearly every stage of the printing process is automated.

The presses work round the clock printing a range of regional daily and weekly titles as well as national titles such as the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and People.

But the presses were silenced for two minutes at 11am on Thursday to mark the Armistice as the edition was being printed.

Here is a video of yesterday's home edition being printed on the presses, filmed on a Nokia N8 phone.
