The royal family gathered for the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in London, observing the solemn event that honors the nation’s fallen troops. Queen Camilla, present after missing last year due to a chest infection, participated in this significant annual ceremony.
The Queen appeared wearing a large black hat, a black dress, and pearl earrings, following tradition by pinning red poppies to her dress. Throughout November, royals wear crimson poppy pins to pay tribute to the sacrifices made by armed forces and civilians in past conflicts.

Queen Camilla is the Royal Patron of the Poppy Factory, responsible for organizing the annual Field of Remembrance at the North Green, Westminster Abbey.
