The King, members of the royal family, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and other political leaders observe a two-minute silence on Remembrance Sunday
The King led the country in a two-minute silence on Remembrance Sunday, commemorating the nation’s war dead, as the Princess of Wales watched on.
Charles laid the first wreath at the Cenotaph in central London, honouring the fallen from conflicts dating back to the First World War.
Floral tributes were then laid by members of the royal family, Prime Minster Sir Keir Starmer, other political leaders, and foreign diplomats.
The Princess of Wales watched from a government building balcony overlooking the Cenotaph, making a rare public appearance this weekend to attend events marking Armistice Day.
The ceremony was held after a two-minute silence was observed in the heart of Whitehall and at war memorials in villages, towns and cities across the country.
Kate, who is currently in recovery after being diagnosed with cancer, and Charles, who is still undergoing treatment for the disease, also attended the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance on Saturday evening.
Queen Camilla, 77, was missing from both events after developing the seasonal respiratory bug following her tour to Australia and Samoa and spa break in India.
Among the crowds lining the barriers on Whitehall were military veterans proudly wearing their medals, while others waited nearby to take part in the Royal British Legion march past the memorial.
The King laid his wreath on behalf of the nation, followed by the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal.
Prime Minister Sir Keir stepped forward to pay tribute on behalf of the Government with his floral tribute, as did the Conservative Party’s new leader Kemi Badenoch, other party leaders, senior members of the Cabinet, military chiefs of staff and high commissioners.
Standing close to the Cenotaph were eight former prime ministers, Sir John Major, Sir Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Lord Cameron, Baroness May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in the Second World War and the 25th anniversary of the end of the war in Kosovo.
It also marks the 75th anniversary of Nato and the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale between the UK and France.
