As the British royal family step out to mark Remembrance Sunday on 11 November 2018, HELLO! Online takes a look back at previous services the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry Princess Diana and Kate Middleton have attended.

This year, Meghan Markle will attend her first service as Duchess of Sussex with husband Harry, while Prince Philip will miss the service for the first time after retiring from public engagements in 2017.

This year is particuarly significant as it marks 100 years since the end of the First World War. Prior to the Sunday service, the royals are also attending the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday.

From the UK to South Africa, Australia and Canada, these photos show the royals paying their respects to the fallen around the world for the last seven decades.
