LONDON: King Charles III on Thursday joined veterans and other members of the Royal Family at London's Westminster Abbey for a service to mark 80 years since the end of World War II. Arriving at the abbey, Charles and his eldest son Prince William laid wreaths at the church's tomb of the unknown warrior. The King's message on the wreath read simply: "We will never forget" and was signed Charles R.
This year's commemorations have had an extra poignancy due to the great age of the dwindling numbers of surviving veterans. Charles, who is undergoing treatment for an unspecified cancer, was also accompanied by Queen Camilla, William's wife Princess Catherine, also known as Kate, and other senior members of the Royal Family. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other politicians and dignitaries also attended. — AFP
