It was 50 years ago the then Prince of Wales placed his first wreath at the cenotaph, during the following decades he has always been one step behind his mother developing the deepest appreciation of what his new responsibility to the military means.
During that period, Britain was caught up in the Iraq War, allowing him to see first-hand the now King's dedication to the military.
Since 2017, another duty has been placed on him as the Queen decided it was no longer practical for her to place her own wreath. Andrew Lawless whose chinook helicopter crashed during the Falklands conflict 40 years ago will be there for the first time remembering his comrades and says the King's presence will be appreciated just as much as his mother's was for so many years.
