On the 11th day of the 11th month, at the 11th hour, we pause to remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, and to honour all who have served and continue to serve.

We will remember them.

This photograph was taken at our Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, which remains open to the public until 15 November for everyone to visit, pay their respects and remember those who have served and sacrificed.

#Remembrance

Today, we pause to remember and honour all those who have served and sacrificed their lives in conflicts past and present, defending the freedoms we enjoy today.

We remember the courage, bravery and selflessness of our Armed Forces, those who never returned home, and the families and loved ones whose lives have been changed forever.

The Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey provides a poignant opportunity for people from across the country to come together, place a tribute and remember those who gave so much.

Anyone may visit and pick up a tribute to plant in person at the Field until 15 November.

Coming together in Remembrance.

Preparations are underway for the 98th Field of Remembrance at @wabbey, with the opening ceremony taking place tomorrow.

We were delighted to be joined by volunteers from @StateStreet and @PA_Consulting, who generously gave their time, energy and enthusiasm to help prepare for this special occasion.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered and played their part. We would also like to recognise our dedicated production team, who have worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to ensure everything is ready and that tomorrow's opening ceremony goes smoothly.

It takes a tremendous team effort to bring this important event together, and we are grateful to everyone who has helped make it possible.
