King Charles lays first poppy wreath at Cenotaph since death of the Queen

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

The UK fell silent as the King laid a wreath on Remembrance Sunday for the first time since the Queen died.

The King honoured the nation’s war dead as he laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in remembrance of all those who died fighting for their country.

Thousands of veterans, military families and the public packed Whitehall for the Remembrance Sunday ceremony and watched as the King placed his floral tribute at the base of the memorial on Whitehall.

In recent years, Charles had performed the role on behalf of the Queen as the Prince of Wales, but as the first chimes of Big Ben rang out at 11am on Sunday and a two-minute silence began, he stood before the Cenotaph in his role as head of state.
