Cenotaph Monarch lays first wreath tribute as king
The Guardian
|November 14, 2022
King Charles has laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in honour of the nation’s war dead for the first time as the British monarch.
The king placed his floral tribute at the base of the memorial on Whitehall during the annual Remembrance Sunday ceremony, watched by thousands of veterans wearing their medals, military families and members of the public.
The monarch had performed the role on behalf of the queen as the Prince of Wales in recent years, but, as the first chimes of Big Ben rang out at 11am and a two-minute silence began, he stood before the Cenotaph in his role as head of state for the first time.
A volley from a gun fired by the King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery from nearby Horse Guards Parade rang out to signal the start of the moment of silent reflection and another loud blast marked its end.
The start of the two-minute silence was also marked by Big Ben tolling 11 times, representing a resumption of full operations for the newly restored great clock in the nearby Houses of Parliament.
