Many veterans travel great distances to take part in the Remembrance Parade past the Cenotaph, but one family travelled all the way from Australia to be there.
Craig and Sharon Brooke, both RAF veterans, travelled nearly 9,000 miles with their children from their home in Connolly, Western Australia to march in the parade.
"It was important for us to be there as a family," said Craig. "Remembrance is about the fallen but it's about the families too. Families play a big role in supporting RAF personnel when they're away."
The couple have taken part in the parade for the RAF Association before, but this was the first time they marched together, with their grown-up children Harriet and Dominic looking on proudly.
"When I've taken part in the parade before, I've looked at the crowds and thought it would be nice to see my family there, so having my kids there meant a lot to us."
Craig spent 25 years in the RAF as a Personnel Administrator, while his wife Sharon served in the RAuxAF Regiment for 22 years. They met in 1997 when Craig was Chief Clerk on her Squadron.
When Craig retired in 2009, the family chose to put down roots in Australia. Craig currently works as a civilian administration manager for the Australian Army.
Despite the 17-hour flight, Craig believes it's worth it. "It's important that we don't forget those who have made the ultimate sacrifice."
Craig and Sharon Brooke travel back from Australia to march past the Cenotaph.
