Remembrance Sunday in pictures

People in the UK have come together to mark Remembrance Sunday.

A period of silence was held at 11am to remember the people who have died in wars around the world.

Remembrance Day marks the actual day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.

But it's also celebrated on the nearest Sunday in November, typically the second of the month.

The first person to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph is the sovereign, which currently is King Charles III.

This is because he is as Head of the Armed Forces.

William's wife Catherine, the Princess of Wales, was at the ceremony.

She's not been very well recently, as she has been receiving treatment for cancer, but has this weekend she attended a number of public events.

Queen Camilla could not attend though because she is recovering from a chest infection.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and new Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch laid wreaths.

Traditionally, wreaths of poppies are laid at the Cenotaph, which is a big memorial commemorating those who have died in wars around the world.

The poppy is used as a symbol of remembrance because during World War One, the farms, fields and land in France and Belgium that was fought on was left devastated by battle, but one of the first plants to reappear on the battlefields after fighting ended were red poppies.

The event was also attended by current members of the Armed Forces, the Royal British Legion and people who fought in the World Wars.

Some of them were wearing medals they were awarded for their service.

Every year a big parade takes place down Horse Guards Parade with people in the Armed Forces taking part.

Thousands of people come to watch it in Central London.

Smaller parades are also held in towns and cities across the UK with Scouts and Guides often taking part.
