The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, accompanied by Members of the Royal Family, will attend the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.
The Festival honours the Armed Forces community for their service and sacrifice in defending our freedoms and way of life and commemorates all those who have lost their lives in conflicts.
