    In Whitehall, crowds have gathered near the Cenotaph ahead of the Remembrance Service

    King Charles will lead the annual two-minute silence to honour those who died in conflict at the national service of Remembrance in Whitehall in London.

    He’ll lay a wreath at the Cenotaph, before a march-past by 10,000 armed forces veterans.

    There is always a big welcome for the remaining veterans of World War Two - but this year we’re expecting to only have about 12 taking part in the parade.

    That’s down from about 20 last year - for what is inevitably an increasingly frail group of elderly men and women.

    They remain a last living link with the many millions who were part of the 1939-45 conflict.

    We'll bring you the latest updates throughout the day - and you can watch the special BBC One coverage of the service at the top of this page.
