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 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 World War II, including an animated warplane projected onto the venue’s main floor and Winston Churchill’s iconic words from the Battle of Britain prominently displayed: “Never in human conflict was so much owed to so many by so few.”
The Chelsea Pensioners, retired members of the British Army, marched to applause from the audience, including members of the Royal Family.
King Charles and Queen Camilla stood to observe two minutes’ silence with thousands of other participants as poppy leaves fell on members of the armed forces.
