"However, it remains The Queen’s firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on November 14."
The annual event had no audience in 2020 due to the pandemic, so this year was even more special.
In 2019, Kate went all out, rocking an elegant dark blue midi dress with a fitted waistband. She also wore her trademark glossy brown hair in loose waves and famously channelled a £17.99 padded rhinestone headband from high street favourite Zara.
The Festival of Remembrance is a commemorative event dedicated to all those who have served and sacrificed from across Britain and the Commonwealth.
To mark 100 years since the collective national Remembrance traditions came together for the first time, we remember the military and civilians, the old and young, and the British and Commonwealth men and women who have fought wars, disasters and pandemics to protect and defend Britain.
