Queen Camilla's wreath was laid by Major Ollie Plunket as she recovers from illness.

Prince William, Prince Edward, Princess Anne, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, and others followed suit.

New Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and members of the new Labour government, including Yvette Cooper and David Lammy, also laid wreaths.

Former Prime Ministers, including Rishi Sunak and Tony Blair, were also present.

Nationwide, similar services occurred in cities like Belfast, Edinburgh, and Cardiff.

In Belfast, Michelle O'Neill of Sinn Féin joined the ceremony for the first time.
