After Jeremy Corbyn was widely criticised for apparently not bowing properly when laying his wreath at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday, pictures have emerged of the Labour leader quietly paying his respects to WWII veterans after the event while other politicians were allegedly at a “VIP lunch”.
Pictures have emerged on Twitter of Mr Corbyn stood next to the railings applauding as the veterans marched past after the ceremony at the Cenotaph.
Tim Brown, an Ashfield Labour Cabinet member, tweeted a picture of Mr Corbyn with a number of veterans after the service, claiming: “Jeremy Corbyn went up to Horseguards to meet/talk with WW2 veterans while the other politicians went for VIP lunch”.
Labour has not confirmed whether the party leader had missed a VIP event to watch the march and speak to the veterans, though it had been made clear Mr Corbyn had a second ceremony to attend in his constituency of Islington North.
