Over 10,000 veterans join King and PM at Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday to pay tribute to Britain's fallen heroes

More than 10,000 veterans have joined the King and the Prime Minister at the Cenotaph this morning to pay tribute to Britain's fallen heroes on Remembrance Sunday.

Among the crowds gathered along the barriers on Whitehall, military veterans proudly displayed their medals, while others stood nearby, ready to participate in the Royal British Legion march past the memorial.

The King, along with a series of senior Royals, is in attendance to observe the two-minute silence in what is Andy Burnham's first service since entering No10 in July.

Thousands have flocked to partake in the Royal British Legion's march past, with more than 300 different Armed Forces and civilian organisations represented at the event in a powerful display of patriotism.

Mr Burnham was joined by the Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch to lay a wreath before the Cenotaph, followed by other leading politicians, including Nigel Farage and Sir Ed Davey.
