Alongside currently serving personnel and veterans from the British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, we are proud to present the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance this Saturday 8th November.

Together with stars of stage and screen we will celebrate and pay tribute to our incredible Armed Forces community, honouring their extraordinary sacrifice and service.

Hosted by Hannah Waddingham and with performances from Rod Stewart, Sam Ryder, Blessing Offor and The Wellermen, we’d love for you to join us as we mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War, and pay tribute to the fallen.

We will also honour the resilience and strength of military children who have faced bereavement, and mark the 25th anniversary of the UK government lifting the ban on gay, le***an and bisexual personnel serving in the armed forces.

R.I.P

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Donald Rose, the UK’s oldest Second World War veteran, who died aged 110.

Originally from Surrey, Donald joined the Queen’s Royal Regiment and trained as a sniper. He later served in North Africa and Europe, and put his longevity down to salty water he had to drink during his time as a Desert Rat.

While serving, Donald survived a bullet to the leg during the D-Day landings and was part of the division that liberated the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northern Germany.

He was later presented with a number of medals and awarded the Legion D'Honneur - France's highest honour.

Donald’s life and legacy will forever serve as a poignant reminder of the invaluable sacrifices made by those who served during the Second World War.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

On 15th August, please join us for a national two-minute silence to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

Held at midday, the moment of Remembrance will mark the start of our National Commemorative Event, hosted in partnership with the UK Government at the National Memorial Arboretum, to honour the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.

Featuring 400 members of the Armed Forces, the commemoration will pay tribute to all those who fought and died during the Second World War in the Far East, and will include music from military bands, as well as a flypast from the Red Arrows and historic aircraft from The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

The event will be broadcast live on BBC One from midday. Whilst access to the event area at the Arboretum will be by ticket only, members of the public will be able to view the commemoration on a large screen located elsewhere within the Arboretum grounds. Booking parking in advance is also strongly recommended to guarantee entry to the Arboretum on this day.
