Not in attendance at the commemorative event were the Earl and Countess of Wessex's two children: daughter Lady Louise Windsor, 18, and their 14-year-old son James, Viscount Severn. Broadcast live on BBC One from the Royal Albert Hall, the event is only attended by working royals.
King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra, were all on the guest list.

Through words, song, and storytelling, the Festival celebrates the qualities behind service which make it an essential part of life in the Armed Forces and civil society.
It will be the first time since 2006 that all working royals attend the Festival. Last year, most royals attended, except for Prince Andrew, due to him stepping back from all public duties, and the Queen, who was forced to cancel her appearance after receiving medical advice from her doctors.
