The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh, accompanied by members of the
Royal Family, attended the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the
Cenotaph, London. The service honors those that have died in armed
conflicts.
An emotional day on an already emotional day today, as The Queen watched the Cenotaph ceremony from the balcony for the first time. With The Duke of Edinburgh by her side, they watched The Prince of Wales lead the ceremony on the ground and lay a wreath on Her Majesty's behalf.

The Duchess of Cornwall joined The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh on their balcony. The Duchess anchors her cluster of poppies with a different brooch each year, often badges or other pieces of significance to the occasion, and that's what she did this year: the badge of the 9/12th Lancers belonged to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and is of special importance to Camilla because her late father was a member of the 12th Lancers.

As mentioned yesterday, we'll take a look at some of the other family members present on the other blog, still to come.
