King leads Remembrance Sunday service at Cenotaph

|November 10, 2025
King Charles has led the nation in the annual Remembrance Sunday service attended by thousands of war veterans at the Cenotaph in London.
A sea of poppies and military uniforms could be seen as hundreds of people lined Whitehall yesterday morning, with three D-Day veterans among the Second World War personnel attending the service.
Charles laid the first wreath in recognition of the fallen from conflicts dating back to the First World War, and was followed by the Prince of Wales. The 76-year-old monarch, wearing a field marshal uniform with a ceremonial frock coat, saluted before stepping back from the monument after leading a two-minute silence.
His son, dressed in Royal Air Force uniform in the rank of wing commander, also saluted after laying his wreath at the Cenotaph. William, who completed seven and a half years of full-time operational military service in 2013, promotes the roles and welfare of current and former service personnel as a key part of his work.
