The Queen will lead the nation in remembering Britain's war dead at the Remembrance Sunday ceremony.
The monarch will be joined by other members of the Royal Family, Prime Minister Gordon Brown and opposition party leaders at the wreath-laying event at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Thousands of veterans will also gather to pay their respects to the fallen.
After the Two Minutes' Silence, the Queen will lay the first wreath, followed by the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Harry on behalf of the Prince of Wales who is on an official visit to Canada, Prince William, the Duke of York, the Earl of Wessex, the Princess Royal and the Duke of Kent.
They will be followed by Mr Brown, David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Foreign Secretary David Miliband, high commissioners from Commonwealth countries and defence chiefs.
Approximately 7,500 ex-service men and women and 1,600 civilians are expected to take part in a march past the Cenotaph.

There were constant references to events in Afghanistan during the evening and the audience at the Royal Albert Hall - including the Queen and the Prime Minister - were shown film of operations to fly wounded servicemen back to Britain and interviews with soldiers expressing sadness at the loss of their colleagues.
The event, for many years devoted to remembering the dead of the First and Second World Wars, had a change of emphasis this year in the wake of military losses in Afghanistan, where the British death toll since operations began there in 2001 has risen to 230.
Before Armed Forces sweetheart Hayley Westenra sang We'll Meet Again in honour of the original Armed Forces sweetheart, Dame Vera Lynn, Dame Vera appeared on film saying; "It's a song that suits the situation at the moment, with the boys in Afghanistan, and so far away from home.
"We must not forget, we must always remember."
