Britain’s Queen Elizabeth lead tributes to the war dead on Remembrance Sunday.
The 88-year-old British monarch became the national focus on Sunday (10.11.14) as she lay a wreath of poppies on the centre of the top step on the Cenotaph in London, England as part of the Remembrance Sunday, which commemorates British and Commonwealth soldiers who have died during conflict.
Queen Elizabeth was followed in strict order of precedence by her 93-year-old husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, her son Prince Charles, her grandson Prince William; her younger sons Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and the Queen’s cousin, the Duke of Kent.
Also in attendance was Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, 32, – who is currently pregnant with her second child – who stood beside Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and the Countess of Wessex.
Many political figures were also present at the ceremony, including the British Prime Minister David Cameron, who remarked that this year – which marks the 100th anniversary of the start of First World War – as "particularly poignant".
He said: "We owe each and every member of our Armed Forces and the families who support them a tremendous debt – one that can never be repaid – and I pay huge tribute to their bravery and resolve."
