Officially opened last Thursday, 6th November, at 11am the Field of Remembrance outside Westminster Abbey has been held annually since 1928, when it was organised by George Arthur Howson, who served during the First World War and was founder and chairman of the Royal British Legion Poppy Factory.
The Field provides an opportunity for people to honour and remember loved ones who died serving in our Armed Forces, and is open to visitors daily from 9am until 4pm, until this Sunday, 16th November.
