Royals joined by senior politicians at Cenotaph in London and events are held across UK to honour those who have died in conflicts
Veterans of the second world war were applauded as they arrived at the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, before being joined by royals and senior politicians to honour those who have died in conflict.
King Charles laid the first wreath in recognition of those killed in wars and conflicts dating back to the first world war. He was followed by his son, the Prince of Wales.
The king wore a field marshal uniform – the army’s highest rank – and saluted before withdrawing from the monument after a two-minute silence.
The Prince of Wales, dressed in Royal Air Force uniform in the rank of wing commander, saluted after laying his wreath at the Cenotaph.
