The King called on his youngest brother, the Duke of Edinburgh,
to take on an important duty on Remembrance Sunday.

Prince Edward took the salute at the Veterans’ parade that saw
around 10,000 former service men and women march past the

tribute to those who had lost their lives.

emotional as he stepped back to salute at the Cenotaph.

An equerry then stepped forward to lay a wreath for Queen
Camilla.

The
Prince of Wales
, only just back from an official visit to
Brazil, laid a wreath emblazoned with the three feathers of his
crest.

The Princess of Wales, next to Queen Camilla, watched from a
balcony overlooking Whitehall.

A wreath was also laid on behalf of the Duke of Kent. The Duke,
who turned 90 just weeks ago, watched from another balcony
alongside the Duchess of Edinburgh.

There were also tributes from politicians and High Commissioners
with the Cenotaph soon surrounded by circles of red poppies and
brightly coloured flowers, all laid in tribute to those who have
given their lives for their country.
