Britain’s King Charles and Queen Camilla led the Royal Family at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance on Saturday (November 8), marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War with commemorations held at the Royal Albert Hall.
The event, which paid tribute to military service members past and present, featured music and marching guards in the presence of the monarchs, who were joined by Princess Catherine and Prince George in the Royal Box.
The Royal Albert Hall was adorned with images commemorating the Second World War, including an animated fighter plane projected on the venue’s main floor and Winston Churchill’s iconic words from the Battle of Britain displayed prominently: “Never in the field of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few.”
The Chelsea pensioners, retired members of the British Army, paraded to applause from the public, including members of the Royal Family.
King Charles and Queen Camilla observed two minutes of silence alongside thousands of attendees as poppy petals fell on members of the armed forces.
