The Festival of Remembrance is an annual televised festival created by the Royal British Legion. It commemorates those who have lost their lives in service of the their country. It takes place every year, the day before Remembrance Sunday. There are two performances: one during the day which is open to members of the public and one in the evening for members of the Legion, their families, officials and royals. There is usually a strong Royal presence during the evening event and tonight was no exception.
It is the first year that Prince William and Catherine have attended and it most likely because Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are currently in New Zealand and Australia and could not attend. It is believed that it will now be an annual event for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Price William could be seen talking to The Queen during the event.
The Queen looked lovely tonight with a very beautiful brooch that had poppies incorporated into it.
Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife, Samantha Cameron, were also in attendance.
The event has been held at the Royal Albert Hall since 1927.
It was once again a success.
The Duchess looked lovely in black lace tonight.
The Duchess chose to wear another Dolce and Gabbana dress tonight. It is the Dolce & Gabbana Lace Dress which was £1,670 and has now sold out online.
She also carried her Anya Hindmarch Maud Clutch in black satin which is still available for £475.
She wore her Jimmy Choo Aimee Court Shoes in black suede and have since sold out online.
The Duchess wore her diamond drop earrings which were a wedding present from Prince Charles.
She also wore her Buckley RBL Jewelled Poppy Brooch which is still available for £15.
The Duchess looked lovely tonight - it was demure and appropriate for the occasion. It is one of my favourite looks for the Duchess.
