King Charles led the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph today. The annual service acknowledges the service of military and civilian personnel, and commemorates those who died in the service of their country.

Remembrance Day is on the 11th of November each year, but the main national ceremony is held on the Sunday nearest to the 11th.

This is the second time King Charles has led the national ceremony as monarch. Queen Camilla and Princess Catherine looked on from a balcony above.

Big Ben chimed eleven times at 11am to start the two minutes of silence. The eleven chimes are symbolic of the end of the First World War, which ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

King Charles laid the first wreath, followed by his son, Prince William, and his sister, Princess Anne.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the Leader of the Opposition Keir Starmer and all living former Prime Ministers also attended the ceremony.
