The 94-year-old monarch, dressed in black, watched from the balcony of the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office building as Prince Charles laid a wreath on her behalf following two minutes of silence. 

Standing on the balcony overlooking the Cenotaph, side-by-side with Duchess Camilla, Kate donned a black coat and matching hat.

Prince William was among the senior royals to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph. 

The service was closed off to the public for the first time due to the pandemic and nationwide lockdown. Still, the event was broadcast live, with people encouraged to take part in the two-minute silence at home.

The public is also being encouraged to share family histories and messages of remembrance online using the hashtag #WeWillRememberThem.
