As the royal family visited the Cenotaph to take part in the service, they joined army officers and prominent British politicians.

They included Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Leader of the Opposition Sir Keir Starmer.

Former British Prime Ministers including Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Theresa May, David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and Sir John Major were also in attendance.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle paid tribute to veterans in the US and around the world this week.

On Thursday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined the Navy SEAL Foundation for the official opening of a new training base, known as the “West Coast Warrior Fitness Program,” ahead of Veterans Day on November 11.

The couple met with veterans, service members and their loved ones at Camp Pendleton.

Wreaths of poppies have already been brought through the gates of Downing Street ahead of the service, as a long line of veterans and armed forces personnel – winding from the gates of Downing Street down along Horse Guards Parade – has gathered.

At 11am there will be a two-minute silence before approximately 10,000 veterans and 800 armed forces personnel from all three services will march past the Cenotaph to the Horse Guards Parade.

It comes after the Metropolitan Police said it had made 126 arrests after far-right groups gathered to ‘protect the Cenotaph’ from a large pro-Palestinian march during Armistice Day on Saturday.

Nine officers were injured after they were pelted with bottles, cans and metal barriers as they prevented a crowd of mainly far-right football hooligans from reaching the Cenotaph.

Last night, King Charles revealed new images of his deceased parents at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance in London.

The life-size bronze works, commemorating the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh’s dedication to the Royal Albert Hall, were erected as part of the building’s 150th anniversary.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak observed the event from a box to the left of the royal family with his wife Akshata Murty, while Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer sat in a separate box to the right with his wife Lady Victoria.

During the event, the king unveiled the statue of his late mother, while Camilla pulled back the curtain on Prince Philip’s bust.

The Princess Royal led a tribute to those who died in the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest military campaign of the Second World War.

This year’s Festival of Remembrance marks the 80th anniversary of the battle, which killed around 65,000 sailors.
