Remembrance Sunday in the UK commemorates those who have died in world wars and other conflicts.
Following tradition, the royal family gathered at the Cenotaph to mark the solemn event.
It was the first service to take place since the Queen's death, and the royals looked somber.
On Sunday, senior members of the royal family – including Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Prince William, and King Charles – took part in the annual Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph in London, UK.
