Will you remember them?
Every year, we are proud to display thousands of Tributes in our Field of Remembrance. Each Tribute carries a personal hand-written message to honour the memory of a loved one or someone who lost their life in Service for our country.
This year, we marked the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War with a very special commemoration. We brought 35,000 messages together in an extraordinary collective Field of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum.
The National Memorial Arboretum is the Nation’s year-round place to remember, an inspirational living landscape, that celebrates lives lived and commemorates lives lost. A beautiful and inspiring place, the 150-acres of the Arboretum form a living landscape, a home to more than 400 memorials waiting to be discovered. It is a poignant place to pause, reflect, and thank those who gave everything for their country, which made it the perfect backdrop for the 2025 Field of Remembrance.
This year’s Field of Remembrance is now closed. Thank you to everyone who joined us in honouring and remembering our Armed Forces community. Please visit this page for future updates about the 2026 Field of Remembrance.
Donate in memory
The 2025 Field of Remembrance is now closed, but you can still donate in memory of a loved one and support the Armed Forces community today.

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 Margarets 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.
Please note, the Westminster Abbey Field of Remembrance is owned and operated by the Poppy Factory. The Opening Service for this Field is a private, ticketed event. If you would still like to visit the Field, please contact the Poppy Factory.
