King Charles and senior members of the Royal Family, alongside the Prime Minister, led the nation in observing Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph. Thousands of mourners, including approximately 10,000 veterans, gathered to pay respects to fallen soldiers.
The service featured a march past involving over 300 Armed Forces and civilian organizations, with participants ranging from bereaved children and military cadets to some of the last surviving veterans of World War II.
Elsewhere, services were held at the National Memorial Arboretum in Burton-on-Trent, drawing thousands of attendees.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham attended his first Remembrance Sunday service in his current role, having previously participated as Mayor of Manchester. Burnham, who succeeded Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister in July, reflected on the sacrifices made to protect the nation's way of life.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also noted to be marking Remembrance Sunday privately. It is their first Remembrance Sunday in the UK since returning after six years in California. While Harry, a veteran of two Army tours in Afghanistan, has no public appearances planned, his brother Prince William was among the senior royals present at the Cenotaph.
Last year, Meghan faced criticism for not wearing a poppy during the Remembrance weekend.
