The Prince laid a wreath and gave a reading from John 15: 12-17 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” King George V received the body of the Unknown Warrior at the Cenotaph on this day 100 years ago, before following the gun carriage on foot to Westminster Abbey as Chief Mourner.

The Queen visited the Abbey to mark the Centenary of the burial of the Unknown Warrior, earlier this week. During the ceremony, flowers based on her wedding bouquet from 1947 were placed on the grave in an act of remembrance. #LestWeForget https://t.co/tOG2L7mwRV pic.twitter.com/3RoGbxDCD4

I’m so glad to see that every effort was made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the tomb of the unknown soldier. Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall in London and the Earl and Countess of Wessex in Stafford made sure that the promise to “always remember them” was kept. The Duchess of Cornwall’s mask was lovely and so appropriate. Thank you to all the soldiers who have helped keep us safe in the past and to those who are keeping us safe today!
