The service was also attended by Princes William and Harry, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke of York.

For the first time, a German leader placed a wreath at the Cenotaph with President Frank-Walter Steinmeier performing the duty on behalf of his country.
After the service, 10,000 people, chosen by ballot, paid their respects to those who served in the First World War by taking part in the Nation's Thank You procession past the Cenotaph.
