Prince to lead wreath-laying

THE PRINCE of Wales will once again lead the nation tomorrow in honouring the country’s war dead during the national service of Remembrance.

The Queen has asked Charles to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph on her behalf – the second successive year he will perform the duty. She will watch the service from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office building.

For the first time, a German leader will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph, with President Frank-Walter Steinmeier performing the duty on behalf of his nation in a historic act of reconciliation.

Afterwards 10,000 people will march past the Cenotaph.
