Charles laid a new poppy wreath at the Cenotaph incorporating a ribbon of his racing colours, with the design a tribute to the ones used by both his late mother and grandfather as the nation falls silent
The nation fell silent today as King Charles lead a moving Remembrance Sunday service for the first time as monarch.
A two-minute silence took place across the UK at 11am with wreaths laid by members of the royal family, senior politicians and faith representatives at the Cenotaph in London, followed by the sounding of the Last Post.
Big Ben struck 11 times at 11am to mark the start of the two-minute silence which signalled the official return of the Elizabeth Tower’s bells after they were silenced at the beginning of the huge conservation programme in 2017.
Big Ben joined bells across the country and worldwide to commemorate those who lost their lives in the two world wars and later conflicts.
