Am watching this now.

Sometimes mere words seem so inadequate.

Indeed, very moving as always although it seemed to have added significance and weight this year with the 100 years since WW1 began and 70years since D-day. Not forgetting the end of combat ops in Afghanistan. Makes you think.... 2.2 Tdci 110 XS CSW Corris Grey
Prince Harry's D3 (gone but not forgotten)
300 Tdi 110 CSW (gone but not forgotten)

Albert Hall, Rememberance Service and this mornings Cenotaph service both thought provoking events.

Said goodbye to a few more WW2 veteran friends this year, their ranks are thinning but it is good to see so many remembering and paying tribute those who served and continue to serve. Steve.
Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.
Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW.

Anyone know why the Irish representative did not lay a poppy wreath but rather a plain green one?

I think a green laurel wreath is typically laid in Ireland as an act of remembrance. In France they use the blue cornflower.
