Transcript

Tens of thousands of spectators in London joined in a two minute moment of silence at 11am local time at the Cenotaph in Whitehall on Sunday. It was to honor members of the armed forces who died in conflict since the beginning of the first World War. The Queen laid the first wreath to commemorate the dead, followed by Prince Philip, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry. Prime Minister David Cameron was the first to lay a wreath after the royals, followed by Labor leader Ed Miliband. More than 10,000 veterans and civilians then marched past the Cenotaph to pay their respects to their fallen comrades.
