Jeremy Corbyn DID Bow At The Cenotaph During Remembrance Sunday Service

Mr Kenny was remembering both the dead of the first World War and the 12 people who died and the scores who were injured when an IRA no-warning bomb exploded at the war memorial in Enniskillen in 1987.

Thousands of people gathered at the Cenotaph for a two-minute silence at 11:00GMT to honour those killed in wars and conflicts past and present.

Remembrance Sunday is the Sunday nearest to Armistice Day on November 11, the anniversary of the 1918 signing of the peace that ended fighting in World War I.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also attended.

Queen Elizabeth II led the tribute at the Cenotaph, an “empty tomb” to honor those whose remains did not make it home from battle.

Her Majesty the Queen and her husband, The Duke of Edinburgh along side other members of the royal family all laid wreaths at the base of the memorial in Whitehall.

Stormont’s Finance minister Arlene Foster and Fermanagh and South Tyrone MP Tom Elliott were among politicians who laid wreaths along with representatives of the Armed Forces and British Legion. Afterward, veterans paraded down the streets as military bands played.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn – whose anti-war stance is well known – seemed to answer speculation on whether he would wear a red poppy by sporting one at the Festival of Remembrance last night.

Also joining them were Dutch royalty as King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands laid a wreath following an invitation by the Queen to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the World War Two and the liberation of his country by British troops.

The Book of Remembrance was delivered to the stage by Corporal Anna Cross, a reservist with the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps who recently travelled to Sierra Leone to help with the devastating Ebola crisis.

The service ended with several Christian hymns, prayers and blessings before the audience were invited to sing God Save the Queen.
