Prince Harry Visits the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey

From Town & Country

Just a few days before the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, Prince Harry is paying tribute to members of the military who died during battle. This morning, the Duke of Sussex is visiting the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, a memorial garden, which serves as a place where members of the public "can plant a symbol in memory of fallen comrades and loved ones."

According to Kensington Palace, this is the 90th year of the Field of Remembrance, which is put on by the Poppy Factory, an employment charity for wounded, injured, and sick veterans in the UK. It also marks the sixth time Prince Harry has attended.

Per the Poppy Factory's website, "The Field of Remembrance was started in 1928 by Major George Howson MC (founder of The Poppy Factory) and a few wounded veterans from the First World War. They grouped together around a singular battlefield cross and, with trays of poppies, invited passers-by to plant a poppy nearby."

This is just one of the events the royal family is taking part in this Remembrance Week. On Saturday, we'll see not only Prince Harry but also his wife Meghan, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the Festival of Remembrance Service at the Royal Albert Hall.

On Sunday, Prince Charles will lay a wreath on behalf of the Queen during the national service of remembrance. It is the second year Charles has performed the duty. It's unclear if Prince Philip will attend, as he has retired from public life. His wreath will be presented by an equerry.
