The week leading up to Remembrance Sunday is one of the busiest in the Royal calendar

Held every year on the second Sunday in November, Remembrance Sunday is a day to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.

For the whole month of November, many Britons don a poppy on their clothes to pay their respects, and several services are held over the month to remember all of those lives lost in battle.

Tuesday saw Camilla, the Duchess of Wales visit the Poppy Factory in Richmond, where poppies have been made since 1922.  Today, the factory still continues to support veterans with health conditions on their journey to employment. 

Thursday morning also saw Camilla attend the opening of the 93rd Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. 

The Poppy Factory has organized the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey since 1928, providing an opportunity to commemorate those who have lost their lives in the Armed Forces.

Camilla met with former servicemen and laid a wreath to mark Armistice Day.

As well as this, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester attended the annual Armistice Day Service at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. 

Unveiled in 2007, the Armed Forces Memorial is dedicated to the 16,000 servicemen and women of the British Armed Forces killed on duty or through terrorist action since the Second World War.

The Duchess of Cambridge met with a veteran, along with a young scout, to discuss what the day means to them.

These sorts of events will continue into the weekend, where the Royal Family will come together to mark Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph. 

While Queen Elizabeth has reportedly not been in the best of health lately, reports state she will be in attendance on Sunday.
