There are five living former Prime Ministers: Sir John Major (1990-1997), Tony Blair (1997-2007), Gordon Brown (2007-2010), David Cameron (2010-2016) and Theresa May (2016-2019). Speaking to the Mail on Sunday a source said: “John Major basically blanked David Cameron and Theresa May and would only talk to his fellow anti-Brexit chums Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. The three of them were huddled together whispering and ignoring everyone else.”
A Whitehall source explained: “Major has made no secret of the fact that he loathes Johnson because of Brexit and just scowled at him.
“It used to be a case of Gordon and Tony glaring at each other at these things, but this was far worse.”
Another source bemoaned: “It was bordering on rude.”
It is understood Mrs May attempted to initiate small talk before the group left to attend the wreath laying at The Cenotaph.
Both Mr Cameron and Mrs May resigned due to Brexit, the former after losing the referendum and the latter after failing to get her withdrawal agreement through the Commons.
A former advisor to Mr Cameron, Laura Trott has been confirmed as the Tory candidate for Sevenoaks.
Ms Trott made an appearance on Newsnight earlier this year in which she predicted Boris Johnson would become party leader but fail to get a deal forcing a general election which would see Jeremy Corbyn become Prime Minister.
Speculation earlier in the year suggested Mr Cameron himself was eyeing Sevenoaks for a potential political comeback.

In the 2015 general election, he won a first Tory majority since the 1990s.
Mr Cameron won the seat of Witney in 2001 but stood down as an MP in September 2016 when he was appointed Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
MPs are technically not permitted to resign their seats, but to circumvent this MPs are usually appointed to either this role or Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds, which are considered to be offices of profit for the Crown, thus preventing them from remaining in the Commons.
The roles have no official duties or income.
Ms Trott was head of strategic communications to Mr Cameron and beat local councillor Graham Clark and former Peterborough MP Stewart Jackson to become Tory candidate.
Her opponents are Sean Finch (Libertarian) Paulette Furse (Independent), Seamus McCauley (Labour), Paul Wharton (Greens) and Gareth Wills (Liberal Democrats).
Ms Furse was previously announced as the Brexit Party candidate.
Nigel Farage announced the party would stand down in all 317 seats won by the Tories in 2017.
In a further 39 constituencies not won by the Tories, including the Speaker’s constancy of Chorley, no Brexit Party candidate is standing.
