The Queen led the commemoration at the Cenotaph
Thousands of war veterans have marched past the Cenotaph memorial in London to mark Remembrance Sunday.
After the commemoration of Britain's war dead began with a gun blast and two minutes' silence on Whitehall, the Queen laid the first wreath of poppies.
Senior Royals followed suit, including Prince William for the first time, then the PM and other leading politicians.
Other remembrance events were also taking place around the country and in Afghanistan and Iraq.
This year Remembrance Sunday falls exactly 89 years after the ending of World War I, Armistice Day.
