At the national service of remembrance at the Cenotaph in London, 12 World War II veterans participated, outnumbering eight former prime ministers for what may be the last time. The event included notable politicians laying wreaths and a moment of silence led by King Charles, which was followed by a ceremonial gunfire and the Last Post.
The ceremony saw participation from around 10,000 veterans and various organizations. The youngest participant was eight-year-old Ronan Doncaster, honoring his late father, a guardsman who passed away earlier this year.
