THOUSANDS of red petals fell on to the heads of members of the Armed Forces during a two-minute silence.

It was a moving moment in yesterday's Festival of Remembrance at London's Royal Albert Hall, attended by the King and Queen as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Before the service Charles and Camilla unveiled life-sized bronze statues of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in the historic concert hall.

The Countess of Wessex, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty were also at the centenary of the emotional festival, hosted for the first time by Clare Balding.
