Huw Edwards presents from the Royal Albert Hall as artists including Alfie Boe, Cynthia Erivo, Gregory Porter and Alexandra Burke pay tribute to the centenary of the Royal British Legion.
In the presence of senior members of the royal family, Huw Edwards presents the Royal British Legion's annual Festival of Remembrance from the Royal Albert Hall in London. Artists including Alfie Boe, Cynthia Erivo, Gregory Porter, Ramin Karimloo and Alexandra Burke perform alongside the Band of HM Royal Marines, the Royal Air Force, the Bach Choir and the Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir.
Internet sensation Tomos Roberts, aka Tomfoolery, performs his specially commissioned poem to commemorate 100 years of the poppy as the symbol of remembrance, and the event pays tribute to the centenary of the Royal British Legion and the support they give to the armed forces community.
Military personnel, past and present, are honoured for their service and dedication in defending our freedoms and way of life. As the petals fall in the Royal Albert Hall, the festival pays tribute to all victims of war and remembers those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
