Rishi Sunak joined Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer in laying a wreath today. A gun salute fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery signalled a two minute's silence to remember our fallen heroes. Big Ben also struck 11 times at 11am for the first time in five years after undergoing refurbishment work. As King Charles laid the wreath, buglers from the Royal Marines played the Last Post. Hundreds of troops stood silent at the Cenotaph after almost 10,000 veterans marched past the war memorial. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War, 400 members of the South Atlantic Medal Association are also joining the procession.

The wreath paid a special tribute to the Queen Ahead of the event, the PM said: ...This year more than ever, we are reminded of the huge debt of gratitude we owe those who lay down their lives to protect their country. ...As we fall silent together on Remembrance Sunday, we will honour the memories of the men and women we have lost and pay tribute to the brave soldiers of Ukraine as they continue their fight for freedom.... Defence Secretary Ben Wallace added: ...Remembrance Sunday is a time to reflect upon the sacrifices made by our veterans and service personnel on operations around the world. ...We must never forget those who gave their lives in defence of our values and our great nation. ...All of us will also be thinking of those brave Ukrainians who are fighting for their very own survival to defend freedom and democracy for all, just as the UK and Commonwealth soldiers did in both world wars. ...Today, members of the UK Armed Forces at Cenotaph and around the world will come together to honour all those who came before them.... Today's service comes after the King and Queen Consort led senior royals in paying their respects last night at the annual Festival of Remembrance. Read More on The Sun
