Breaking News: King Charles III to Lead National Tribute on Remembrance Sunday
King Charles III will lead the nation in a two-minute silence at 11:00 GMT on Sunday during the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in central London. The ceremony will also feature the King laying a wreath at the monument to remember those who died in conflict.
The event will be attended by other senior royals and political leaders, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Around 10,000 armed forces veterans will participate in the Royal British Legion's march-past through Whitehall, alongside around 20 World War Two veterans.
Remembrance Sunday is observed on the closest Sunday to Armistice Day on 11 November, marking the end of World War One in 1918. The prime minister said the nation will pause "to honour all those who have served our country".
Services will also take place in communities across the UK, including in Edinburgh, Belfast, and Cardiff. The events aim to reflect on the courage of armed forces in the world wars and subsequent conflicts.
This is a developing story, with further details and updates expected as the events unfold.
