The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance

For the first time since his accession to the throne, HM King Charles III, accompanied by the Queen Consort and other members of the royal family, attends the Royal British Legion's annual Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Artists including multi award-winning tenor Andrea Bocelli with his son Matteo and daughter Virginia, Hollywood actor and singer Luke Evans, Emmy Award-winning actress and West End star Hannah Waddingham, and musical theatre sensation Marisha Wallace perform alongside the band of HM Royal Marines, the Royal Air Force Squadronaires and the Bach Choir. The conclusion of the festival will feature actress Shona McGarty alongside the Fourth Choir, together with spoken word artist Jaspreet Kaur.

This year's event reflects upon what service means to our armed forces and also to the wider communities in this country and across the Commonwealth. The opening of the festival pays tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II and her 70 remarkable years of service and dedication. The 40th anniversary of the Falklands War is also commemorated as we recall the events of this conflict, remembering the service and sacrifice of so many. Military personnel, past and present, will be honoured for their service and dedication in defending our freedoms and way of life. As the petals fall in the Royal Albert Hall, the festival pays tribute to all victims of war and remembers those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
