The Queen led the tributes at the annual Remembrance Sunday service in London, where a two-minute silence took place before wreaths were laid at The Cenotaph, followed by a veterans' march.

David Cameron and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn stood side by side as they paid their respects. Mr Corbyn's wreath had his own personal message, which read: "In memory of the fallen in all wars. Let us resolve to create a world of peace."

King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who was invited to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands, also laid a wreath.
