The Queen and the Royal Family paid tribute to those who have fought and died in war, during the annual Remembrance Sunday service in London.
Her Majesty viewed the service from the balcony of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office building, accompanied by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge.
For the second year in a row, the Queen, 92, handed her duties over to her son and heir to the throne, the Prince of Wales.
Following a two minute silence at 11am, a wreath was laid on Her Majesty’s behalf by Prince Charles at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, while an Equerry placed one on behalf of the Duke of Edinburgh.
