Sunday 8th November
The King, Queen and members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Remembrance service at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. The King will lay a wreath, the design of which pays tribute to the wreath of His Majesty’s grandfather, King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth II. The wreath’s poppies are mounted on an arrangement of black leaves, as is traditional for the sovereign, and its ribbon bears the King’s racing colours; scarlet, purple and gold. The royal racing colours were also incorporated into the wreaths of King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.
The Queen’s wreath will be laid on Her Majesty’s behalf by her equerry. The Queen’s wreath will bear Her Majesty’s racing colours, inherited from her grandfather, and echoes the wreath of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
The King and Queen’s wreaths have been produced by the Poppy Factory, which has been making Remembrance wreaths for the Royal Family for over a century.
The Prince of Wales will lay the wreath previously laid by His Majesty The King as the former Prince of Wales, featuring The Prince of Wales feathers. The wreath now bears a ribbon in Welsh red.
