The Royal Family, as heads of the armed services, political leaders and foreign ambassadors lead the wreath-laying.On Remembrance Sunday, the nearest Sunday to Armistice Day - the 11th day of the 11th month when, at the 11th hour, the end of the First World War was declared - crowds line Whitehall to watch the sombre ceremony and pay their respects with the two-minute silence.
The mournful solo bugle sounds the Last Post, and prayers are offered for the sacrifices made in war. |
