Charles took centre stage yesterday and laid the first wreath at the Cenotaph, in recognition of the fallen from conflicts dating back to the First World War, and was followed by the Prince of Wales.

The King, wearing Field Marshal uniform with a ceremonial frock coat, saluted before stepping back from the monument, after leading a two-minute silence at the annual Remembrance Sunday service in London. His son, dressed in Royal Air Force uniform in the rank of Wing Commander, also saluted after laying his wreath at the Cenotaph.
