Well put Keith but as Raggy asked read this again Raggy (I've taken the trouble to put "The Festival" in context to help you)

"The order and format of the Festival [i.e. the televised programme] is planned and organised by those who do and they will not lose one wink of sleep should you never watch it again. Your opinions on the subject are meaningless and worthless the Festival [i.e. the televised programme] is for those who serve and have served their country"

Oh and Raggy you are perfectly correct the Remembrance SERVICE is so that the entire nation can remember those who fell giving their lives for their country - The Remembrance SERVICE however happens at the Cenotaph on the Sunday AFTER the Saturday night broadcast of the Royal British Legion's Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.

Clear enough for you Raggy?
