King leads nation in silence to honour war dead on Remembrance Sunday as events held in Northern Ireland as well

The King has led the nation in honouring those who have died in conflict on Remembrance Sunday at a ceremony attended by thousands of veterans.

Charles took centre stage and laid the first wreath at the Cenotaph in recognition of the fallen from conflicts dating back to the First World War, and was followed by the Prince of Wales.

Events have been taking place throughout the UK - including in Northern Ireland.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant attended a memorial service in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh.

In 1987, the event was targeted by an IRA bomb which killed 11 people on the day and a 12th victim years later, who never woke up from a coma.

The Lord Mayor of Belfast, Róis-Máire Donnelly of Sinn Féin, laid a laurel wreath at the cenotaph in Belfast, as did the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Sarah Owen and Irish government minister Frank Feighan.
