Former servicemen marched past the Cenotaph during the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Whitehall yesterday.

While the Queen laid the first wreath in London, Prince William was at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan's Helmand province. The number of service personnel who have died in Afghanistan since the start of operations in the country in 2001 is now 343. Dan Kitwood/Getty Images
