The Princess of Wales watched from a balcony as the King laid a wreath at the Cenotaph and led the nation in a two-minute silence on Remembrance Sunday. Thousands of people gathered in Whitehall for the National Service of Remembrance to commemorate both world wars and other conflicts involving British and Commonwealth forces.

The Princess of Wales will attend Remembrance events in London at the weekend, Buckingham Palace has said. She will attend both the Sunday service at the Cenotaph and the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening.
