Field of Remembrance

Her Majesty The Queen accompanied by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh visited the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on 10 November.

Each laid a Cross of Remembrance after prayers by the Very Reverend Dr Wesley Carr, Dean of Westminster, and the Reverend Robert Wright, Sub-Dean, Canon of Westminster and Rector of St Margaret's Church.

Trumpeters of the Household Calvary sounded The Last Post followed by a two minutes' silence, after which the Royal Party toured the plots meeting veterans from past and more recent conflicts.
