British Royals Lead Remembrance Sunday Ceremony

Remembrance Sunday - Cenotaph Service

Queen Elizabeth and the royal family lead the United Kingdom in remembering those who had died in military service during the annual Remembrance Sunday today, November 9, 2008.

The royals joined past and present government officials, including Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Baroness Margaret Thatcher, and war veterans at the Cenotaph in laying wreaths of poppy at the war memorial. The 11 a.m. service is held annually on the Sunday nearest to the anniversary of the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918.
