British royals attending Remembrance Sunday services through the years

Every year in London – and whenever they travel abroad – members of the British Royal Family make sure to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers who fought for their country. Throughout the years, the Queen, Prince William, Prince Harry and more have laid wreaths, sang hymns and paid visits to memorial sites across the world to honour and thank the victims.
