Crowds formed across Britain today for heartfelt tributes to the brave soldiers who died for their country.

The Queen led the way at a solemn service in Whitehall as thousands gathered across the nation to mark Remembrance Sunday.

The autumn sun shone on central London, where military officers joined royals and Prime Minister David Cameron for the event.

Dignity and respect: Royalty, politicians and military personnel stood shoulder to shoulder with ordinary people to remember the war dead today;

Loving memory: The Queen leads the tributes at the Cenotaph ceremony wearing a black hat and bright cluster of poppies;

Wearing a black coat and hat, pearls and a cluster of poppies, the Queen laid a wreath at the foot of the Cenotaph, before other members of the royal family stepped forward to do the same.

She was followed by Prince Philip, Charles and William, all of whom wore their uniforms from their time serving in the Army.

Kate Middleton attended the ceremony for the first time, her eyes downcast as she stood beside the Duchess of Cornwall and Countess of Wessex on the Foreign and Commonwealth balcony.

Solemn occasion: Kate Middleton stands between the Duchess of Cornwall and Countess of Wessex as she attends the Whitehall event for the first time;

Light-hearted moment: The Duchess of Cambridge and Countess of Wessex share a joke as they stand on the balcony between Camilla and Princess Anne's husband Mark Lawrence;

The royals had earlier lined up behind the Queen for the two-minute silence - which was signalled by gunfire from the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Horse Guards Parade.

The Queen stood with her head bowed as Big Ben chimed, before another blast marked the end of the silence and the Buglers of the Royal Marines sounded the moving tune of The Last Post.

Father and son: Prince William, (top phot)and Prince Charles follow the Queen up to the Cenotaph to lay wreaths, wearing their uniform from when they served in the Army;

Sorrow of the state: Soldiers and religious figures are watched by crowds at the grand event in the capital today;

Meanwhile, hundreds gathered at the Cenotaph in Manchester for the city's Remembrance Sunday memorial.

They heard the Last Post sound at 11am and the firing of a 105mm gun to mark the start of the two-minute silence.

In scenes that reflected the ones in Whitehall, the Lord Mayor, Councillor Harry Lyons JP, laid a wreath on the Cenotaph, followed by leaders from the Royal Navy, Army, RAF and other organisations.
