Record number of prime ministers line up at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday after Burnham replaces Starmer in No10

Andy Burnham led a record number of prime ministers past and present at the Cenotaph today on Remembrance Sunday.

Mr Burnham was joined by nine former premiers as he laid a wreath honouring Britain’s war dead in Westminster.

Sir John Major, Sir Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer lined up behind serving political leaders.

It is the first time Sir Keir has attended since being forced from office
