Britain's Prince Harry attended a ceremony at the Field of Remembrance in London's Westminster Abbey earlier today (07.11.14).
The 30-year-old prince appeared in full military dress at the abbey, where he was greeted by The Dean of Westminster, John Hall, and took the time to meet members of the Royal British Legion Poppy Factory.
Prince Harry spoke to Lisa McKinlay - whose husband Lance Corporal Jonathan McKinlay was killed in Helmand, Afghanistan while serving with The Rifles - who said: "Harry was saying how nice it was to see the names on all the crosses. He knows about The Rifles and everything they do, and was saying how much support they give to their families.
"[Harry] said you have to strike a balance between spending your time remembering what has happened and moving forward with your job and family.
"I was a little bit nervous about meeting him but I like attending these events because it is Jon's name that I am able to remember and I want his name remembered for as long as possible."
The prince, whose military career has seen him spend time serving in Afghanistan, also laid a Cross of Remembrance in front of the graves of Unknown British soldiers from the First and Second World Wars and then observed two minutes' silence.
