King Charles to lay wreath

King Charles will lead Remembrance Sunday events today as the nation pauses to remember the fallen.

He will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in London with a design which pays tribute to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and his grandfather, George VI.

In Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon will join Lord Provost of Edinburgh Robert Aldridge and veterans as the RAF pipe and drum band leads a parade from Edinburgh Castle to the City Chambers at 10:30am.

The One O’Clock Gun will fire at 11am from Edinburgh Castle, as the country falls silent for two minutes. Commemorations will also take place across Scotland including at the Glasgow Garden of Remembrance at the city’s George Square.
