Remembrance Sunday live: Kate joins Queen Camilla in paying tribute to Britain’s fallen heroes as King Charles and Prince William lead the nation in emotional memorial service at the Cenotaph

An extraordinary scene is being set on Whitehall as 10,000 veterans get ready to start their march-past.

The Royal Air Force are kicking off the impressive parade, following an emotional Remembrance service.

Incredibly, there are roughly 20 World War Two veterans in their midst today.

Andy Burnham led a record number of prime ministers past and present at the Cenotaph today on Remembrance Sunday.

Mr Burnham was joined by nine former premiers as he laid a wreath honouring Britain’s war dead in Westminster.

Sir John Major, Sir Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer lined up behind serving political leaders.

The ten leaders attending the event in Whitehall is a modern record and highlights the fractured state of UK politics in the past decade.

It is the first time Sir Keir has attended since being forced from office by Labour to make way for Mr Burnham earlier this year.

And it marks the fifth time Ms Truss has attended since her 49-day premiership in the middle of 2022, the shortest in British political history.
