The ceremony this year was notable for the predominance of the civilian over the military and naval element, and the presence of 320 winners of the Victória Cross, who attended the Prince of Wales' dinner on November 9, They headed the procession of ex-Service men and ex-Service women, from Wellington Barracks to the Cenotaph.
