The Duke of Kent watched on as his equerry laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on his behalf this Remembrance Sunday.

The 89-year-old was joined on the Foreign Office by Princess Anne’s husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, as the ceremony took place below.

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

Remembrance Sunday is one of the most important dates in the Duke’s diary, with His Royal Highness served in the Armed Forces in the UK and overseas for 21 years.

After graduating from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1995, the Duke of Kent was commissioned into the Royal Scots Greys as a Second Lieutenant.

HRH served with the regiment for over 20 years, including in Cyprus, Hong Kong and Northern Ireland.

In 1971, The Royal Scots Greys was merged with the 3rd Carabiniers, becoming the Royal Scots Dragoon Gaurds.

His Royal Highness is Deputy Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment. He was previously Colonel of the Scots Guards from 1974 until 2024, when he handed over these duties to the Duke of Edinburgh.

In recent years, the Duke has watched in from the balcony of the Foreign Office as an equerry lays a wreath on his behalf.

In 2023, His Royal Highness was forced to miss the event due to mobility issues.
