LONDON, England: On Remembrance Sunday, November 13, the UK fell silent for two minutes while King Charles III led the nation in honoring servicemen and women who lost their lives in past conflicts.

Thousands of veterans stood at attention, including some who served during World War II, after Big Ben chimed 11 times to mark the start of the minutes of silence.

The veterans watched King Charles lay a newly designed wreath of poppies at the foot of London’s war memorial, the Cenotaph, while other senior figures also laid wreaths, including the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Wessex, as well as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the leader of the opposition, Keir Starmer.

In London, many thousands lined the streets to watch the ceremony, and applauding as 10,000 veterans marched past.

In the UK, Remembrance Sunday is marked annually on the closest Sunday to Armistice Day on 11th November, with the wearing of poppies and a national two-minute silence being observed at 11 a.m., the moment the guns fell silent in 1918 at the end of World War I.

Officials said this year’s service is dedicated both to fallen soldiers in wars past and to Ukrainians fighting against Russia’s invasion.

“We must never forget those who gave their lives in defense of our values and our great nation, All of us will also be thinking of those brave Ukrainians who are fighting for their very own survival to defend freedom and democracy for all, just as the UK and Commonwealth soldiers did in both world wars,” Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said.
