"This is a moment when representatives from all parties should stand together to honour the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms, and to show solidarity with our armed forces and emergency services, he added. Their courage binds us as a nation we will remember them."
"This is the second year Reform have not turned up to the Remembrance Service at City Hall. In Waltham Forest they also did not turn up to events this weekend. Patriotism isn't a bit. Respect for our country and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice means being present."
Mayor Sadiq Khan and London Assembly members joined representatives from the Metropolitan Police, Transport for London, London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Service, British Red Cross and the Royal British Legion to lay wreaths marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Alex Wilson and Keith Prince were absent from the City Hall service. A Reform UK spokesperson said Wilson travelled to Israel as part of a party delegation and that Prince had attended two local services and would attend another on Tuesday. Photographs showed Assembly Members from Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives and the Green Party attending the service.
