Prince takes over duties

PRINCE Charles has led Britain’s annual Remembrance Sunday ceremony for war dead, taking the role held for more than six decades by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The 91-year-old queen, dressed in black, watched the service at London’s Cenotaph memorial from a nearby balcony alongside her 96-yearold husband Prince Philip.

The Queen was visibly affected by the service, at one point wiping away tears. Thousands gathered to honour those killed in World War I and subsequent conflicts.
