Will you remember them?
Every year, we are proud to display thousands of Tributes in our Fields of Remembrance. Each Tribute carries a personal hand-written message to someone who lost their life in Service for our country.
If you have dedicated a Tribute, thank You. Your words will see that the men and women of our Armed Forces community, who sacrificed everything to protect us, are always remembered.
Whether you’re remembering a family member, friend or want to share your respect, you may like to visit one of our Fields of Remembrance. Please see below for more information on our Opening Services and Field opening times.
Visiting the Fields of Remembrance?
Remember a loved one
The closing date for our Fields of Remembrance has now passed, but you can still donate in memory of a loved one and support the Armed Forces community today.
Visiting the Fields of Remembrance?
Each November, members of the public come from across the UK to join together and honour the memory of loved ones who we were sadly lost serving in our Armed Forces. It is part of our nation’s culture and means so much to so many people.
Join us at our Fields of Remembrance to pay your respects to the fallen and visit your personal Tribute. Our Fields are officially opened with a special Remembrance service where we honour The Two Minute Silence at 11am. A bugler plays the Last Post and the Exhortation is read.
If you would like to visit one of our six national Fields of Remembrance, you can find more information below, including details on the opening services and how to find them. Please be sure to check this information before making plans to visit the Fields.
Fields of Remembrance
The first Field of Remembrance
In November 1928, The Poppy Factory took a group of disabled veterans, a tray of poppies and a collecting tin to the grounds of St Margaret's Church at Westminster Abbey. It was not a large display, only a handful of poppies were planted around a single cross, but it caught the public attention and began a tradition that has grown over the decades.
Over 90 years later, the Poppy Factory still organises the Field of Remembrance at Westminster, with RBL organising Fields of Remembrance in other five locations. Altogether, volunteers plant more than 120,000 Tributes across the UK.
