King Charles leads minute’s silence for Air India crash victims at Trooping the Colour

King Charles III led a minute’s silence during the Trooping the Colour parade in London on Saturday to honor the victims of the Ahmedabad-London Air India crash that killed 241 passengers and crew. The 76-year-old monarch, along with other royals and military officers, wore black armbands as a mark of respect, following last-minute changes to the annual ceremony. Buckingham Palace said the silence was observed after the King and Queen Camilla joined Princess Kate on the dais, accompanied by the Last Post and Reveille. King Charles earlier expressed deep shock over the tragedy, offering prayers and sympathies to victims' families, while praising emergency services for their response. Flags at royal residences were flown at half-mast on Friday as a tribute.
