The Duchess of Edinburgh was at the side of the Duke of Kent as they joined the Royal Family for the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph.
The 91 year old Duke, who served in the military for many years, appeared particularly moved during the service which took place on a misty day in London.
He watched on solemnly as a wreath was laid at the foot of the Cenotaph on his behalf.
Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent, was born in October 1935, just four years before the outbreak of World War Two. During that conflict, his father was killed and Edward became Duke of Kent at the age of 6, in August 1942.
The solemn service is particularly poignant for the Duke of Kent as he remembers the death of his dad, Prince George, Duke of Kent, during war.
Dressed in full uniform, he looked down on Whitehall from a balcony above.
At his side was the Duchess of Edinburgh who took particular notice of the Duke as he stood in the centre of the royal group watching on. At one point, Sophie appeared to ask the Duke if he was alright with him nodding in reply.
Also with them was the Princess Royal’s husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester watched from an adjacent balcony.
Queen Camilla stood with the Princess of Wales for the service.
King Charles led the nation in Remembrance, walking out to the Cenotaph just before 11am when a two minute silence was held for all those who have given their lives in the service of their country.
The King laid a wreath on behalf of the nation and bowed his head in remembrance.
The Prince of Wales also laid a wreath, bearing the three white feathers of his crest.
Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh completed the royal party in laying poppy wreaths at the Cenotaph.
Following the service, the Duke of Edinburgh headed to Horse Guards Parade to take the salute for the veterans’ march past.
