King leads solemn Remembrance Sunday service at Cenotaph
The King led the nation in a two-minute silence at the Remembrance Service in London
King Charles III led the nation in a solemn two-minute silence on Remembrance Sunday in London to honour veterans who had died in conflict.
On a stone-grey autumn morning, he laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in Whitehall before a march-past by 10,000 armed forces veterans.
That included a shrinking number of World War Two veterans, with 12 taking part this year, including 103-year-old Annie Duplock, who described it as a "very emotional day".
Meanwhile, the number of former prime ministers reached a record high, with nine lined up to lay wreaths, while Andy Burnham attended for the first time as the current occupant of No 10 Downing Street.
And for the first time, the leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, had enough MPs in Parliament to qualify to lay a wreath alongside other major party leaders.
