KKing Charles III. remembered the British war dead at the annual memorial service for those who died in World War I and II: for the first time in his new role as monarch.
Dressed in military uniform, Charles appeared as King and Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces on Sunday at the Cenotaph, a war memorial in London. There he laid a wreath of red artificial poppies, Britain’s symbol of remembrance.
Since 2017, the then heir to the throne has represented his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September, on the day of remembrance known in Great Britain as Remembrance Day.
His eldest son, heir to the throne Prince William, and his wife Kate were also present at the wreath-laying ceremony on Sunday.
Remembrance Sunday is the culmination of a series of events in the UK to commemorate all those who lost their lives in conflict.
