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.

Explained simply

Remembrance Sunday is a national day of tribute to people who have died in wars and to those who have served in the Armed Forces. The main ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph, a war memorial in Whitehall, London, and includes a two-minute silence and the laying of wreaths.

The Royal Family traditionally attends the London ceremony, alongside veterans, serving personnel and public figures. Prince Harry, King Charles’s younger son and Prince William’s brother, served in the British Army, including in Afghanistan, before stepping back from royal duties and moving to the United States with his wife, Meghan.
