King Charles III led Remembrance Day commemorations in London on Sunday for the first time as Britain’s monarch, laying a newly designed wreath at The Cenotaph war memorial.
Chief of the Defense Staff Tony Radakin said the ceremony to honor Britain’s war dead had an “additional poignancy” after the loss of the queen.
The ceremony, also attended by seven former prime ministers, is due to be followed by a march past which will involve around 10,000 Royal British Legion veterans, representing 300 different armed forces and civilian organizations. The chimes marking the start of the two-minute silence at 11:00 a.m. local time saw the permanent reconnection of the Big Ben bell in parliament’s Elizabeth Tower, after it was largely silenced for five years of repair.Officials said this years’ service is dedicated both to fallen soldiers in wars past and to Ukrainians fighting against Russia’s invasion.
