The British Royal Family marked the annual Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in London on 9 November.

King Charles led the nation in the solemn ceremony honouring members of the military who gave their lives for their country.

A national two-minute moment of silence took place at 11 am, with Big Ben chiming 11 times as the moment began, before an artillery blast and the playing of “The Last Post” by the Royal Marines buglers. The King then laid a wreath at the Cenotaph.

The Prince of Wales, who just arrived back from a visit to Brazil, also laid a wreath on behalf of himself and the Princess of Wales that said, “In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We will remember them. William and Catherine.”

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh also took part alongside Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other political leaders.

Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Kent watched on from the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office that overlooks the Cenotaph.
