The UK fell silent as King Charles III laid a wreath on Remembrance Sunday for the first time since the Queen died.
Charles laid a new poppy wreath incorporating a ribbon of his racing colours, with the design a tribute to the ones used by both his late mother and his grandfather George VI.
Camilla viewed the service from the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. A wreath was laid on her behalf for the first time. It was an emotional moment for the King as he looked to hold back tears as he saluted at the Cenotaph. The nation’s longest-reigning monarch, who lived through the Second World War as a teenager and was head of the armed forces, only missed seven Cenotaph services during her reign, including in 2021 due to a back sprain.
