    King Charles led the UK in two minutes of silence at the National Service of Remembrance on Sunday (10.11.24)

    The 75-year-old monarch - who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year - was joined by other senior members of the royal family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, as the nation remembered the men and women who lost their lives at war


    The king - who was dressed in the Royal Navy uniform of the Admiral of the Fleet - laid a wreath on behalf of the nation at the Cenotaph in central London.

    In February, Buckingham Palace announced that Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer, but he's made a gradual return to public duties over recent months.

    Prince William, Prince Edward and Princess Anne also laid wreaths at the war memorial in London, while Catherine, Princess of Wales and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh both watched the service from a balcony.

    Catherine, 42, has been gradually returning to public duties herself, after undergoing her own cancer treatment earlier this year.

    However, Queen Camilla was absent from the annual service after she was recently diagnosed with a "seasonal chest infection".

    Buckingham Palace explained that Camilla, 77, was "following doctors' guidance" by missing the Remembrance events in London over the weekend.

    The Palace said in a statement: "Following doctors' guidance to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection, and to protect others from any potential risk, Her Majesty will not attend this weekend's Remembrance events."

    Despite this, Camilla still intended to "mark the occasion privately at home".

    The statement continued: "While this is a source of great disappointment to the Queen, she will mark the occasion privately at home and hopes to return to public duties early next week."
