The Duke of Kent watches on as his equerry lays a wreath at the Cenotaph

The Duke of Kent looked on as his aide placed a wreath at the Cenotaph for him this Remembrance Sunday.

The 89-year-old was accompanied by Sir Timothy Laurence, Princess Anne’s husband, as the event unfolded below at the Foreign Office.

The Duke's wreath was placed by Lieutenant Pieter Myburgh, an equerry from The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, Carabiniers, and Greys.

Remembrance Sunday holds great significance for the Duke, who dedicated 21 years of his life serving in the Armed Forces both in the UK and abroad. It is a key event marked in his calendar.

Upon completing his studies at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1995, the Duke of Kent was appointed as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Scots Greys.

HRH was a member of the regiment for more than two decades, during which time they were stationed in places like Cyprus, Hong Kong, and Northern Ireland.

In 1971, The Royal Scots Greys combined with the 3rd Carabiniers, resulting in the formation of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.

His Royal Highness serves as the Deputy Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment. He held the position of Colonel of the Scots Guards from 1974 until 2024, when he passed on these responsibilities to the Duke of Edinburgh.

In the past few years, the Duke has observed from the balcony of the Foreign Office as an aide places a wreath on his behalf.

In 2023, His Royal Highness had to miss the event because of difficulties with movement.
