Prince Charles led services at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday as millions around the country honoured Britain's war dead with a silent tribute.

The Prince of Wales laid the head of state's wreath at the Cenotaph for the first time, followed by Prince William, Harry and Andrew as the Queen, Prince Philip and Camilla watched from the Foreign Office nearby.

Theresa May led out politicians including Jeremy Corbyn, Vince Cable, John Bercow and Boris Johnson as they also laid floral tributes at the monument to those killed in combat.

Meanwhile, Britons around the world held their own Remembrance services, including troops on deployment in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Officers laid wreaths at a military base in the Middle Eastern country as a brass band played to honour those killed in the First and Second world wars, and in conflicts since.

In Hong Kong services also took place at the city's Cenotaph - organised by the Hong Kong and China branches of the Royal British Legion and the Hong Kong Ex-Servicemen's Association.

Back in London crowds were pictured being filtered through security barriers as The Observer revealed that police will be using facial recognition technology for the first time in an attempt to avoid trouble.

Officers are reported to be using a database of 50 people who are known for obsessive behaviour to public figures, and will be using the cameras to keep them away.

Around 10,000 current and former members of the military, dignitaries and members of the public are expected to attend the service, which marks 99 years since the end of the First World War.

And Jeremy Corbyn was caught on TV signing God Save the Queen.
He must be expecting an election soon.

And the police state gets ever bigger.
No need to bother, the crowds are always 99.9% white only.
Successful multikulti and all that.

Is this really what you were fighting for ?

Corbyn would get rid of the monarchy if he had the chance. It has no place in a socialist republic with Corbyn president.

What do you propose? No security measures at all and let hooligans or Muslims cause carnage?

The Queen is surrounded by several thousand ex and present military.
Let the hooligans come, they will get flogged and then sent off to the Navy.
For the other, it's about time Europe woke up. Molyneux had a great rant about that last night.

So let's just get rid of the police force then.

No. I agree with you. Just get rid of the police. We don't need them.


I don't know the police go crazy over Remembrance Day.
If you need the police to protect 10,000 military from a few, a couple dozen, or even several hundred
football drunks or jihadis, what exactly is the quality of your military these days. :lol:

Praise the Lord and Pass the ammunition. :violent3:

Most of the people there don't look like military to me.

The monarchy has no place in any modern state. It is comically out dated.
