The King has led the nation in a two-minute silence on Remembrance Sunday to honour those who have died in conflict.

Charles was joined by members of the royal family and senior politicians at the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in central London.

A gun was fired to mark the end of the silence before the Last Post was sounded by the Buglers of the Royal Marines.

Charles will lay the first wreath at the Cenotaph in recognition of the fallen from conflicts dating back to the First World War, followed by his son and other senior royals.
