Nothing usually shuts down for Armistice Day. Although it is called 'day' the actual remembrance ceremonies etc are centred around the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month (i.e. 11am on 11th November).
It's polite to stop what you are doing and observe the silence at 11.
Otherwise, unless you find yourself in the middle of a ceremony, it shouldn't make any real difference to you.
