Thousand of people, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and eight of his predecessors, watched as the nation fell silent at 11am.
The King led the nation's Remembrance Sunday commemorations as he laid a wreath at the Cenotaph during a two-minute silence. Charles, who is still receiving cancer treatment, paid his respects without the Queen, who did not attend events in central London due to a chest infection. He appeared alongside his son Prince William and daughter-in-law, Kate, Princess of Wales, who carried out two consecutive public engagements for the first time this year after her cancer treatment ended.
Politicians from the four nations laid wreaths in capital cities, while veterans and their families also gathered for events in Portsmouth, the home of this year's D-Day anniversary commemorations, and the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. Among the former leaders were Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Theresa May, Lord David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Sir Tony Blair, and Sir John Major.
