Senior members of the royal family join veterans, serving personnel and their families at London's Royal Albert Hall for the Royal British Legion's Festival of Remembrance.\n\nHosted by Clive Myrie, the evening features performances from an outstanding line-up of musical talent, including Alfie Boe, James Emmanuel, Mica Paris, Rita Wilson and Tom Odell, alongside stirring performances from the Band of Royal Air Force Regiment and the Bands of HM Royal Marines Portsmouth (Royal Band) and Collingwood.\n\nThrough powerful personal stories, the festival reflects on the experiences of those whose lives have been shaped by conflict. In a year marking significant anniversaries of operations in Bosnia, the end of the Gulf War and the Iraq War, we hear from those who served, those who lost loved ones and the families who continue to live with the impact of military service. Their experiences resonate with those of serving families today as they share the realities of deployment and separation in 2026.\n\nAt the heart of this year's festival is the theme of places of remembrance, exploring how the places we associate with those we have lost can hold profound personal meaning. From national memorials and familiar landmarks to gardens, football pitches and quiet corners of everyday life, people from across the UK share the places where they remember and feel close to loved ones who are no longer with them.\n\nAs the festival draws to a close, the Royal Albert Hall observes a two-minute silence as poppies fall in a moving tribute to all those who have served and sacrificed.\n\nAccessible commentary will be available by selecting audio description on your TV or BBC iPlayer. A version with British Sign Language will also be available on Red Button and iPlayer.
