Why it matters
Remembrance Sunday is the central national act of commemoration for UK war dead, held each year on the second Sunday of November. The Cenotaph ceremony, led by the monarch, draws veterans, politicians, and the public. This year's service continues the tradition following Queen Elizabeth II's death, with King Charles now firmly established in the role. The presence of the Waleses and Queen Camilla underscores the royal family's collective ceremonial duty.
