Jeremy Corbyn appeared to remain silent as the national anthem was sung at today's service marking the anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the Press Association reports.

The service, at St Paul's cathedral, London, marked 75 years since the battle between German Luftwaffe and the RAF - a key moment in UK history.

The new Labour leader was seen standing silently not far from Prime Minister David Cameron, as those around him sang along.

Mr Corbyn has previously called for the monarchy to be abolished but since winning the Labour leadership election he has accepted becoming a member of the Queen's privy council.

Conservative MP Andrew Rosindell said it was "disappointing" but his colleague James Gray, a Defence Committee member, said: "The fact he was there properly dressed, wearing a tie, good on him. Well done him. He is a pacifist and not a royalist but he has gone along and stood in the front row."

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn needs a spin doctor "or he risks crashing and burning even faster than anyone imagines",argues the Guardian's Tom Clark., external

Clark acknowledges that "young idealists" will be "appalled" by the idea - but he puts forward four reasons to justify his argument.

The Daily Politics

Both the Conservatives and Labour are looking at how to appeal to the blue collar voters.

In a Daily Politics film, reporter Adam Fleming met the figure behind one approach, where Harlow MP Robert Halfon claimed “White Van Conservatism is alive and flourishing”.

 And in the other, Jamie Reed, who stepped down from the party’s front bench, said Ed Miliband “had a difficulty with this”. and he spoke about the need to appeal to areas outside London where the “economies have different challenges”.

Jeremy Corbyn faces David Cameron as leader at PMQs for the first time on Wednesday and has pledged to shake them up, and suggested other Labour MPs could sometimes stand in for him.

He is not the first leader to want to change how the most high-profile Commons event of the week is run.

The Daily Politics looked back into the archive to see what other leader politicians have had to say about the behaviour at the weekly session.

Jeremy Corbyn hasn't stuck around at the TUC conference, telling delegates he wanted to get back to Parliament in time for the vote on tax credit changes. The new Labour leader was welcomed to the stage ahead of his speech by a string quartet, which played 'Hey Big Spender'.

BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith says most trade unionists would regards the new Labour's speech as "music to their ears" - with the first half of his comments dedicated to extolling virtues of trade unions. Did it gain any traction beyond the hall and galvanise electoral support behind him? Norman suspects not, saying it was a "comfort zone" speech more directed at his audience in the hall - many of whom backed him in the leadership contest.

Jeremy Corbyn accuses the government of being "poverty deniers", and says they are ignoring food banks. "Austerity is actually a political choice that this government has taken and they're imposing it on the poorest and most vulnerable," he says. Labour, he adds, must set out a vision for "a better society" - and says this will be shared by "proud campaigning" with the unions.

"These things aren't dreams these things are practical realities we together intend to achieve," he concludes to a standing ovation.

Jeremy Corbyn moves on to the government's welfare reforms now - which he also opposes. He says the party will try to remove the benefits cap - set at £23,000 in London and £20,000 elsewhere; this is a departure from previous Labour policy which supported the cap in principle.

Jeremy Corbyn is continuing his criticism of the Trade Union Bill - and it's going down well with in the hall, with various rounds of applause. He says of the legislation: "We're going to expose it for what it is and try and stop it passing. We will try to replace this bill with something much better."

The leader of the Labour Party should always address the TUC conference, says Jeremy Corbyn. "I see it as an organic link," he says - before welcoming PCS strikers from the National Gallery. He turns now to criticism of the government's proposed strike ballot reforms, embodied in the Trade Union Bill which cleared its first parliamentary hurdle yesterday.

The Tories love to champion deregulation everywhere, he says, and yet the one thing they really, reallywant to regulate is Labour and the unions. He adds: "I think sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, don't you?" He pledges to fight the bill.

 "We don't need policymaking from the top down with an all-knowing, all-seeing leader," says Jeremy Corbyn - as he outlines his wish for the decision-making process to be more democratic. In the age of social media he says he wants "everybody" to put their views forwards so that when the policy is agreed everyone can feel like they own it.

Jeremy Corbyn says his new shadow cabinet was appointed after "consideration, thought and lots of discussion" - and hails the fact it has a majority of women. He singles out the new position of shadow minister for mental health - and also highlights the shadow housing minister as of particular importance.

Jeremy Corbyn says that ever since his victory on Saturday, 30,000 people have joined the Labour Party. "Our membership is now more than a third of a million and rising," he tells the TUC.

He says the values that bring people to the party have to be things "that we fight for every day", including an end to poverty and inequality. Labour needs to work together with the unions to "change minds, and change politics" and to bring about a Labour government in 2020, he says, adding that the party must also become more "inclusive and open".

"Sisters and brothers, thank you very much for inviting me here today," he begins. He speaks of the "fast journey" they are on - and expresses his delight at being at the conference. "I am and always will be an active trade unionist. That is in my body." Those that attack trade unions should remember there are "six million of us" in the UK, as he praises the role they play in society.

Jeremy Corbyn, dressed in a jacket but without a tie, arrives in the conference hall to a long round of applause and some supportive whistles. He gives the crowd a wave before taking a seat. You can watch it via the live stream on this page.
