" 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"

So the festival of remembrance is only for people who have served, nothing to do with the remainder of the population. I'm surprised the BBC broadcast it.
