The Monarch paid silent tribute to the servicemen, women and civilians who have died serving Britain since the First World War at the annual Remembrance Sunday service held at the Cenotaph memorial in Whitehall.

The Queen and senior members of the royal family laid wreaths at the monument as hundreds of dignitaries across the country remembered their own local war heroes.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Tory leader David Cameron, acting Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable and more than 40 High Commissioners from Commonwealth countries also left floral tributes to the war dead at the Cenotaph.

Prince William - an officer in the Blues and Royals - laid a wreath for the first time as the Queen, his grandmother, and his father, the Prince of Wales, looked on.

Thousands lined the pavements of Whitehall and observed the two minutes' silence at 11am as a remark of respect to the fallen service personnel and civilians.

Chris Simpkins, the Royal British Legion's director general, said: "It is wonderful to see so many people attending remembrance parades and observing the two-minute silence or watching the extensive coverage at home on TV.

"Remembrance Sunday is an occasion when we contemplate and commemorate common values, and remember the past in the context of the present.

"That so many have participated shows the nation is united in remembering the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country and those who continue to put their lives at risk for us today."
