King Charles led the nation’s Remembrance commemorations, paying tribute to the military and civilian men and women who lost their lives in service.
Following the two-minute silence, the King stepped forward to lay the first wreath at the foot of the monument in Whitehall, with his eldest son, Prince William, following shortly afterwards.
Charles, dressed in his field marshal uniform, complete with a greatcoat, cap and sword, laid a specially designed Sovereign’s Wreath featuring 41 paper poppy petals arranged among black leaves.
Princess Anne and Prince Edward also took their turns at the Cenotaph, laying wreaths in memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Each royal tribute was accompanied by a handwritten message.Â
The King’s card carried a particularly poignant sentiment, reading: “In everlasting remembrance.”
His personal message was revealed after Edward’s touching Remembrance tribute.
