The Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in central London to honour the nation’s war dead during the National Service of Remembrance.
Prime Ministers Unite at the Cenotaph
Sir Keir Starmer led eight former prime ministers as they gathered alongside members of the Royal Family at the Cenotaph. Former leaders Sir John Major, Sir Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Lord David Cameron, Baroness Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak stood closely behind Starmer to pay their respects to the fallen.

King Charles’s Emotional Tribute
King Charles appeared visibly emotional as he laid his wreath at the service.
The King was joined by senior royals including the Prince and Princess of Wales. Approaching the war memorial just before 11 am, King Charles saluted. After Big Ben’s bells chimed at 11 am, a two-minute silence was perfectly observed. Subsequently, a gun was fired and the Last Post was played by the Buglers of the Royal Marines.
Wearing a field marshal uniform with a ceremonial frock coat, the King then stepped forward to lay his wreath at the Cenotaph and saluted again.
Author’s summary: The Remembrance Sunday ceremony brought together past and present prime ministers, senior politicians, and the Royal Family to solemnly honour the nation’s war dead.
