This will be Andy Burnham’s first Remembrance Sunday as Prime Minister – we’re keeping a keen eye out for his arrival.
A year ago, it was Keir Starmer, who now joins a record number of former PMs who will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph.
As a reminder, that’s Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Theresa May, David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and John Major.
When Blair stepped down in 2007, there were only two living ex-PMs, Major and Thatcher, suggesting how much the role has subsequently become a rapidly revolving door.
Another political first this year will be that Reform UK’s leader Nigel Farage will lay a wreath alongside other party leaders, now that his party has the six MPs required.
