Prince George has paid tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those who have lost their lives in conflict at a Remembrance event alongside the King, Queen and Princess of Wales.
The crowd at the Royal Albert Hall in London stood as the family entered to a fanfare by trumpeters and took their seats in the royal box on Saturday evening at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.
Kate was seated next to her son and pointed things out to him during the event which included readings, prayers and music.
George shuffled a little in his seat between performances and watched intently as emotional videos of veterans speaking about their experiences and paying tribute to their lost friends and comrades played.
It was the first time the prince has attended the annual event.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer was seated in the box adjacent to the royal box alongside his wife Victoria.
This year, the festival is commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and marking the 25th anniversary of the UK Government lifting the ban on gay, lesbian and bisexual personnel serving openly in the armed forces and will reflect on past discriminations.
It included performances by Rod Stewart, Sam Ryder and Keala Settle as well as music performed by the Central Band of the RAF, the RAF Squadronaires and the Band of HM Royal Marines.
The royal family stood and clapped as the Chelsea Pensioners in red uniforms entered the auditorium and marched across the stage while an orchestra gave a rendition of the Boys Of The Old Brigade.
Veterans in attendance included those who had helped to plan D-Day, some who had been prisoners of war and had survived direct hits at sea.
Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham hosted the event wearing a long purple dress and a poppy.
The actress performed We’ll Meet Again and told the audience about the courage of her grandfather, who is a veteran.
Prince William wasn’t able to attend as he was travelling back from the Cop30 UN Climate Change summit in Brazil.
Australia will pause on November 11 to mark Remembrance Day, a time to honour those who served and sacrificed for our country. While not a public holiday, it is a national day of reflection and solemn remembrance.
The national ceremony takes place at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, beginning at 10:45 am on the Parade Ground. Attendees will witness wreath-laying, performances by the Band of the Royal Military College, and the Federation Guard. At 4:30 pm, a “Last Post” ceremony will be held in the Commemorative Area.
Across the country, local services and school observances will be held at war memorials in every state and territory. Wearing a red poppy is a traditional way to show support and respect.
All Australians are encouraged to observe the one-minute silence at 11:00 am, remembering the lives lost and impacted by war. Government departments will also follow the flag protocol: flags fly at full-mast from 8:00 am, are lowered to half-mast at 10:30 am, and returned to full-mast at 11:02 am.
You can participate by attending a local service, placing a poppy at a memorial, or simply pausing for the minute of silence at home, in schools, or at work.
Remembrance Day is a chance to honour courage, reflect on our history, and teach younger generations the value of sacrifice and service.
