The British Royal Family join King Charles III and Queen Camilla to attend the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London on the evening of November 8th, on the eve of the annual Remembrance Sunday Service at the Cenotaph.
The Princess of Wales, Prince George, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester joined the King and Queen Camilla for the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The Royal British Legion hosts the annual Festival of Remembrance on 8 November to commemorate all those who have lost their lives in conflicts.
The festival will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who fought and lost their lives. Personal stories will also bring to light the experiences of those lost in more recent conflicts, connecting the past with the present. Special focus will be given to the resilience and strength of military children who have faced bereavement.
This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the UK government lifting the ban on gay, lesbian and bisexual personnel serving openly in the armed forces. The festival will reflect on past discriminations and celebrate the progress made since the year 2000.
As the iconic poppies fall during a two-minute silence, royalty, veterans and the nation will remember the sacrifices made by those who have died serving their country.
