Festival of Remembrance 2024

Every year the Royal British Legion hosts the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.

This year, the Festival of Remembrance will honour the service of, and the sacrifices made by, British Armed Forces personnel: those who served in the past and those currently serving. The Festival will further pay our respects to the families, friends, colleagues and associations of personnel, and the organisations from across the network supporting the British Armed Forces community. Through authentic testimony, emotive storytelling and creative production, the Festival will showcase why it is important to actively remember the vital contribution of British Armed Forces personnel and the wider community to the UK’s past, present and future.

The key elements in this year’s Festival are:

  1. Second World War: 80th anniversaries

This year marks the 80th anniversary of key turning points in the Second World War, which marked the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe. While D-Day was fundamental to the allied victory, the Second World War was not won on any single day – or battle – and we will recognise and pay tribute to all who served from the British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and allied nations, such as those who served in the Battles of Monte Cassino, Imphal and Kohima, Operation Market Garden and the Scheldt.

  1. Beyond the Second World War: Kosovo and Afghanistan

We will recognise those who served and currently serve in Kosovo 25 years after the deployment of NATO peacekeeping force: KFOR, and those who served in Afghanistan as this year marks 10 years since the end of Operation Herrick.

  1. The RBL’s role in society today

We will showcase the RBL’s Remembrance for All philosophy and promote our role as champion of Remembrance, to ensure the service and sacrifices of Armed Forces personnel from Britain and the Commonwealth are always remembered.

As a member, we suggest you opt in to receive communications; this can be done through the self-service portal. Members will then receive the Membership e-News and Legion magazine with information about Festival of Remembrance tickets.
