      This is the "highlights" from the dress rehearsal. The atmosphere of the evening performance is missing along with most of the Festival performers and other individuals participating. Catch the full Festival programme here in a few days as the BBC usually download it for the Commonwealth who are intrinsically included in it's "Acts of Remembrance".

Why, because royal family in Britain is very famous, in outsiders perspective your country is more stable andcstrong, because we see rf the king holds more power, that any country cannot just defeat them. So british should support and love your country. With what is happening now, you should not let those visitors, migrants destroy your country.

Those who ware the King's uniform and serve today are the Best of the UK, our Veterans are the inspiration who we love and respect for what they did to keep us safe, and those who gave there lives to protect us and to fight for freedom, democracy, sovereignty and peace are the heroes of the UK who should be remembered everyday, prayed for everyday and thanked everyday. My heroes are my late parents also my cousin who gave his life in WW2 fighting for good against evil while serving in the RAF as a Radio operator/ Rear Gunner in a Bomber and is Buried in Italy amongst his British and Commonwealth Brothers from the RAF. My other heroes are our fallen from WW1 to today who gave there lives may they all RIP. 😢😢💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

    I am proud to have served 24 yrs in the British Army. I’m even prouder of my brother who died in service. I always watch the festival of remembrance, with pride. Unfortunately, this year I was upset by the virtue signalling, and introducing politics into a somber act of remembrance. Was there really a need to bring up the windrush. I feel that an act of remembering the fallen (skin colour, creed, belief system, or cause are of no consequence), and thanking them for their sacrifice.
