TM the King and Queen will be joined by members of the royal family at the Royal British Legion's annual Festival of Remembrance from the Royal Albert Hall in London, hosted by Adrian Lester. Music artists include Welsh legend Sir Tom Jones, Jack Savoretti, Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, Samantha Barks, Alexandra Burke and Jake Isaac. The Central Band of the Royal Air Force and the Bands of HM Royal Marines will create awe-inspiring displays of military music.

This year鈥檚 event will celebrate the remarkable men and women who fought in World War II in 1944. To mark this 80th anniversary, we will commemorate those who fought on D-Day and in the Normandy campaign, in Italy at Monte Cassino and Kohima, and Imphal in East Asia, and will be welcoming many of these veterans into the Royal Albert Hall. We will also hear stories from those that fought in more recent conflicts - this year marks a decade since UK forces ended combat operations in Afghanistan. Those currently serving will be celebrated as we hear of the incredible work of the Royal Air Force in training their Ukrainian counterparts, and we will pay tribute to the children of those that serve in the armed forces, including a special performance from the Service Children鈥檚 Community Choir.

Past and present military personnel will come together to 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 will pay tribute to all victims of war and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
