King Charles will be leading the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph for the first time as monarch. The Queen considered Remembrance Sunday one of the most significant and important engagements in the royal calendar.
Charles had been laying wreaths during the service on the Queen’s behalf since 2017, but today will be first Remembrance Day since becoming monarch
Charles will lay a new poppy wreath incorporating a ribbon of his racing colours, with the design a tribute to the ones used by both his late mother and his grandfather George VI. The nation’s longest-reigning monarch, who lived through the Second World War as a teenager and was head of the armed forces, only missed seven Cenotaph services during her reign, including in 2021 due to a back sprain.
They will be joined by an estimated 10,000 members of the public who will line Whitehall to watch the service.
