King Charles has led the Royal Family at the Festival of Remembrance in London.
The service, of music and words, traditionally takes place on the eve of Remembrance Sunday.
The King, with Queen Camilla at his side, was given a warm reception as he arrived at the Royal Albert Hall for the ceremony.
The Prince and Princess of Wales joined them in the front row of the royal box for the evening of tributes which is organised every year by the Royal British Legion.
Among those taking part this year were Alfie Boe, Mica Paris and Rita Wilson.
There was music, too, from the Band of the Royal Marines and the Royal Airforce Band.
Veterans and serving military personnel were at the heart of the service.
The Festival of Remembrance saw a wide turnout from the Royal Family. The Princess Royal and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, were present as were the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester also attended.
The Festival of Remembrance traces its roots to 1923 when the first musical commemoration was held, called ‘A Cenotaph in Sound’.
It traditionally takes place on the night before Remembrance Day. King Charles will lead the Royal Family at the Cenotaph as they take part in the national Act of Remembrance.
