As his father the King, and brother William, lead the nation’s remembrance at the Cenotaph, Harry pays his own respects… 70 miles apart from his family in a quiet market town…
King Charles led the Royal Family at London’s Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph, while Prince Harry attended a separate service in Brackley, about 70 miles away. Harry’s appearance, seven years after he was last absent from the Whitehall ceremony, highlighted the distance between the royal gatherings as the country honoured its war dead and veterans.
The London service began with the two-minute silence at 11am, marked by Big Ben and an artillery salute, followed by the Last Post and wreath-laying. About 860 troops took part in the parade, and an estimated 10,000 veterans and members of the Armed Forces community marched past the Cenotaph. Harry, a former Army captain who served in Afghanistan, wore his medals and a poppy; his wife Meghan was not present.
In short
- Charles led the Cenotaph remembrance in London.
- Harry attended a service in Brackley, 70 miles away.
- Around 10,000 veterans and service community members marched.
