🇯🇵 Earlier today, Emperor Naruhito & Princess Aiko attended the 81st Emperor's Cup & Empress' Cup All Japan Soft Tennis Championships held at Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo’s Kōtō City.
🇬🇧 🇺🇸 From the Bands of HM Royal Marines:
« This Remembrance Week, the Bands of His Majesty’s Royal Marines presents a special performance of The Last Post, performed by Colour Sergeant Kerrie Silk at the Cambridge American Cemetery.
In a place where so many lives are remembered, we reflect on the extraordinary reach of music, the cost of war and the enduring legacy of one man whose final chapter remains a mystery.

Lest we forget all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. »

The King & the Queen’s wreaths have been produced by The Poppy Factory, which has made Remembrance wreaths for the Royal Family for over a century & annually supports more than 1,200 veterans on the path to employment.
The Poppy Factory’s employment support began at its factory in Richmond upon Thames, where members of the production team have been making Remembrance wreaths since 1922.
While the country gathers for Remembrance Sunday, 6,500 UK Armed Forces personnel will remain deployed on operations & at overseas bases. Personnel are currently supporting NATO allies in Eastern Europe, maintaining the continuous at-sea deterrent, & operating across the globe to deter aggression & defend national interests. The year-round presence ensures the United Kingdom is ready to respond to emerging threats.
🇬🇧 Later today, King Charles will lead the nation in the annual two-minute silence to remember those who have fallen & suffered in conflict during the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph.
The King will be joined by Members of the Royal Family, the Prime Minister, senior politicians & faith representatives to mark the Armistice of the First World War as well as all other conflicts involving British & Commonwealth forces.
The King will lay a wreath, the design of which pays tribute to the wreath of his grandfather, King George VI, & mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The wreath’s poppies are mounted on an arrangement of black leaves, as is traditional for the Sovereign, & its ribbon bears the King’s racing colours; scarlet, purple & gold.
The Queen’s wreath will be laid on her behalf by her Equerry. The Queen’s wreath will bear Her Majesty’s racing colours, inherited from her grandfather, & echoes the wreath of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.
The Prince of Wales will lay the wreath previously laid by His Majesty as Prince of Wales, featuring the Prince of Wales Feathers. The wreath now bears a ribbon in Welsh red.
The Princess of Wales, The Duke & Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal & VAdm Sir Timothy Laurence, The Duke & Duchess of Gloucester, as well as The Duke of Kent will also attend the Service.
Approximately 10,000 veterans will take part in The Royal British Legion’s March Past, with over 300 different Armed Forces & civilian organisations represented. Individuals of all ages will be amongst those marching — from bereaved children & military cadets, through to some of the last surviving veterans of the Second World War.
A wide range of participants will be present, with the youngest person marching aged only seven years old through to veterans aged over 100 years old. Veterans will also have travelled from afar to join the March Past, with some coming from Canada & Australia to participate. Approximately 10,000 members of the public are expected to line Whitehall in London to watch the March Past & take part in the annual two-minute silence.
For those unable to travel to London for the National Service of Remembrance, the national event will be broadcast live on the BBC, ITV & Sky News.
