14th November 2010. Remembrance Parade. The Queen laid her wreath at the Cenotaph in London to lead the nation's mourning for those who died in the first world war and in almost a century of conflicts since. The prime minister, David Cameron, laid the first Cenotaph wreath for the government. Cameron's wreath was followed by Nick Clegg's, as coalition partner and leader of the Liberal Democrats. Ed Milliband, as very new leader of the opposition, was in third place. Behind them stood three former prime ministers: Gordon Brown, apparently impervious to the rain without an overcoat, standing beside Tony Blair, and then John Major, Margaret Thatcher's successor, looking more sprightly than either.
