Charles III led his first Remembrance Sunday event as king, laying a wreath in tribute to UK and Commonwealth war dead, as Britain's new prime minister also lauded Ukraine's defenders.
Charles stood in silence after depositing the ring of red artificial poppies—Britain's symbol of remembrance.
Cannon fire marked the beginning and end of the silence, culminating in buglers playing the Last Post in front of the Cenotaph, before UK politicians and Commonwealth ambassadors laid their own wreaths."This year more than ever, we are reminded of the huge debt of gratitude we owe those who lay down their lives to protect their country," Sunak said in a statement.
"I also think it's poignant when we have once again the specter of war in Europe and all that that entails, and a country that's been invaded and is fighting for its freedom," he said, referring to war in Ukraine. On Friday—Armistice Day, marking the end of hostilities in World War I—a service was held at the National Memorial Arboretum in central England.
