As his first Remembrance Sunday as King, Charles III is set to break a tradition led by his mother the late Queen.
Each year, on November 13, the monarch has laid a wreath on behalf of the UK at the Cenotaph in Central London to honour those who died the first and second World War and laters conflicts. As the Mirror reports, the ceremony was thought to be a key event in Queen Elizabeth's diary, only missing it on a handful occasions through her 70-year reign.
The wreath was made up of around 90 poppies and was either laid by her or by Charles on her behalf. However, this year, the Telegraph reports that new monarch Charles will lay a wreath that has a different design from his mother's.

According to reports, it will feature bigger but fewer poppies than the late Queen's, along with a wide ribbon in his racing colours. This follows the tradition seen from previous Kings as Kings George V and King George VI are thought to have included a ribbon in their family racing colours into their own wreaths.
As for Queen Consort Camilla, for the first time, she will have a wreath designed which will also be placed at the Cenotaph. However, she will be watching from the balcony of the Foreign Office and will not lay the wreath herself, following the tradition of the Queen Mother who watched proceeding from the balcony too.
Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales William and Catherine will have a joint wreath, with reports claiming they will have ribbons attached in the colour 'Wales red'.
On Remembrance Sunday last year, Charles led the Royal Family in laying wreaths and showing their respects at the ceremony in London just hours after it was announced the Queen was unable to attend due to health issues.
The Queen, who died in September, only ever missed six Remembrance Sunday events in her 69-year reign before last year - four due to being abroad on royal tours and two when she was pregnant. However, in recent years Charles laid her wreath on her behalf in as she opted to watch the service from the Foreign Office balcony.
During the short service, those present observe a two-minute silence, while wreaths are also laid by the Prime Minister, former PMs and other politicians as well as High Commissioners from the Commonwealth.
