Prince Harry attends Remembrance service in Brackley

Harry attended the service with his military decorations and a red remembrance flower pinned to his clothing, standing with residents near The Crown Hotel. He watched the ceremony and later greeted people in the town’s market, an onlooker said. His wife, Meghan, and their children were not with him. Harry served in the British Army from 2005 to 2015 and completed two tours in Afghanistan.

In London, King Charles led the national ceremony at the Cenotaph, where he and Prince William laid wreaths. Queen Camilla and Catherine, Princess of Wales, watched from a balcony, while Princess Anne and Prince Edward also took part. Those assembled observed two minutes of silence.

Around 10,000 veterans joined the Royal British Legion’s march past, representing more than 300 military and civilian groups. The crowd included several veterans who remain from the Second World War and children marching in memory of relatives who died in service.

Andy Burnham laid a wreath alongside nine former prime ministers. Their attendance made the gathering the largest such group of former premiers at the ceremony in modern times. Harry last attended the national Remembrance Sunday event with his family in 2019.
