Remembrance Day is observed on November 11th every year as the World War I hostilities formally ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” of 1918.

“The Festival, run by the Royal British Legion, is an annual commemorative concert dedicated to all those who have lost their lives in conflict,” the royal family official account wrote on Instagram.
