Queen leads memorial on Remembrance Sunday

The Queen led Britain in honouring members of the armed forces killed in conflict as Remembrance Sunday services took place around the country yesterday.

The monarch laid the first wreath at the Cenotaph in London’s Whitehall to commemorate those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the decades since the First World War.

Senior royals, including Second World War veteran the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge joined politicians, military leaders, veterans and serving personnel in laying wreaths of poppies at the monument.
