King Charles was overcome with emotion on the day, the first time he has attended a first memorial service without his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died a few months ago.
Charles' wife, Queen Consort Camilla and Princess Kate watched from a balcony.

In recent years, Charles has acted as the Prince of Wales on behalf of the Queen, but this year, when the two minutes' silence began, he appeared before the Cenotaph as head of state.
The king led the royal procession, followed by working royals Princess Anne, Prince William and Prince Edward.
