The Duke of Edinburgh and his grandson Prince Harry have paid a joint visit to the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, placing poppy crosses amongst the field during its official opening.
The two royal men placed their crosses in front of the Graves of the Unknown British Soldiers before saluting, while the Dean of Westminster offered a prayer for the memories of the fallen: “For the 87th time at the Field of Remembrance we meet again to remember those who have their lives in the conflicts of our time that we might enjoy freedom and peace. With full hearts at this, our Field of Remembrance, let us pray for the peace of the whole world.”
Afterwards the Princes spent time chatting with veterans and family members present to remember their loved ones, listening to their stories and sharing jokes.
Both Prince Philip and Prince Harry have seen active service – Philip served in the Royal Navy during World War Two, while Harry has completed two tours of Afghanistan.
