Manchester Evening News|November 11, 2024
THE nation's war dead have been commemorated by the King as the country fell silent in remembrance of the servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
King Charles leads nation in Remembrance

Charles laid the first wreath at the Cenotaph in recognition of the fallen from conflicts dating back to the First World War, and other floral tributes followed from members of the royal family, Sir Keir Starmer, other political leaders and foreign diplomats.

Yesterday's solemn ceremony was held after a two-minute silence was observed in the heart of Whitehall and at war memorials in villages, towns and cities across the country.

Watching from a government building balcony overlooking the Cenotaph was the Princess of Wales, making a rare public appearance this weekend to attend events marking Armistice Day.
