RBL Albert Hall Remembrance showing live at Celebrity

[Gordon Kent]

In response to a number of enquiries we can confirm that The Waterfront in Lapta will be showing the RBL Festival of Remembrance at the Albert Hall tonight from 23:00

Our branch's very own Kim Tyler will be bearing the Kyrenia Branch Standard.

From the BBC website:

"In the presence of Her Majesty the Queen and members of the royal family, Huw Edwards presents the Royal British Legion's annual Festival of Remembrance, which pays tribute to all victims of war and conflict.

Rod Stewart, Alexandra Burke, Russell Watson, the Overtones, Amore, Jon Joe Kerr and the Military Wives Choir perform alongside the Massed Bands of the Household Division, the Band of HM Royal Marines, the Queen's Colour Squadron and the RAF Squadronaires.

The Festival includes the traditional two-minute silence as poppy petals fall from the roof of the Royal Albert Hall, each representing a life lost in war. "
