Festival of Remembrance
Saturday 7th November 2026
Every year, the RBL’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall honours the service of, and the sacrifices made by the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces community.
In the presence of Their Majesties The King and Queen, personal testimonies, storytelling and wonderful music performances express the nation’s gratitude to serving personnel, veterans and their families. The production also marks the sacrifices of those who have defended our freedoms and why it is important to always remember the vital contribution of the Armed Forces community.
