King Charles pays respect to Air India crash victims at annual royal parade
King Charles III and other members of the Royal Family in uniform wore black armbands and observed a moment of silence during his annual birthday parade Saturday as the monarch commemorated those who died in this week's Air India plane crash. Charles requested the symbolic moves 'as a mark of respect for the lives lost, the families in mourning and all the communities affected by this awful tragedy,' Buckingham Palace said. An Air India flight from the northwestern city of Ahmedabad to London crashed shortly after takeoff on Thursday, killing 241 people on board and at least 29 on the ground. The plane was carrying 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese and one Canadian. One man survived.

Charles, wearing a scarlet military uniform, travelled to Horse Guards Parade in an open-topped, horse-drawn carriage accompanied by Queen Camilla. Prince William and other uniformed members of the Royal Family rode behind the King on horseback, followed by Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and her three children in another open-topped carriage.
