The couple's signatures appeared underneath a heartfelt message penned by Prince William. It read: "In memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice we will remember them".
This was the first time that William has laid a wreath at the Cenotaph since his father acceded to the throne and he became Prince of Wales following the Queen's death.

The King led the royal procession, followed by the Princess Royal, Prince William and Prince Edward.
The design of his poppy wreath paid tribute to the one used by both Charles' mother the late Queen and by his grandfather George VI.
A wreath was also laid on the Queen Consort's behalf for the first time. For the King's wreath, poppies were mounted on an arrangement of black leaves, as is traditional for the sovereign, with the ribbon bearing the King's racing colours of scarlet, purple and gold.

Camilla's wreath bore her racing colours, inherited from her grandfather, and echoes the wreath of the previous Queen consort, the Queen Mother.
The Prince of Wales laid the wreath that was previously laid by his father, who held the title Prince of Wales for more than 64 years before his accession to the throne.
It featured the Prince of Wales feathers and a new ribbon in Welsh red. The King and the Queen Consort's wreaths have been made by The Poppy Factory, and were accompanied by handwritten cards bearing their new cyphers.
