The Queen leads remembrance events in London

The Queen lays a wreath at Wellington Barracks

The Queen and other members of the Royal Family have taken part in remembrance events in London.
The monarch was joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, King Philippe of Belgium and the Duke of Cambridge at the opening of a memorial garden in central London.
The Queen laid a wreath of poppies at the memorial at Wellington Barracks.
The garden was made with soil collected by children from 70 battlefields and war cemeteries in Flanders, where millions died in World War One.
On Armistice Day last year, Prince Philip was present for the soil gathering ceremony in Ypres in his role as senior colonel of the Household Division and colonel of the Grenadier Guards.  More on this story
