Field of Remembrance

Each year, The Royal British Legion establishes a Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, London and Cathays Park, Cardiff. In 2010, there will be an additional Field at Wootton Bassett.

The Fields become a sea of Remembrance Crosses with scarlet poppies - a touching symbol of Remembrance and tribute to the memory of ex-Service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country.

Mark the memory of loved ones, friends or comrades by dedicating your own Remembrance Cross, Star or Crescent to a life remembered. We will plant it on your behalf in our Field of Remembrance in November.

The Fields of Remembrance for 2010 are not yet open - online ordering will be available in September. If you would like to arrange for a Remembrance Cross to be sent to you please call 0845 845 1945.

In 2009, 60,000 crosses were planted at Westminster and for the first time, a special plot was included for the Iraq and Afghanistan casualties. Read the press release here.

A photo gallery of Remembrance is available on the main Legion website.
