The Queen was joined by senior members of the royal family as they paid tribute to all the lives lost in the First World War at a poignant concert.
The Festival of Remembrance at London’s Royal Albert Hall featured an array of musical performances and touching tributes on Saturday evening.
The dukes and duchess of Cambridge and Sussex were in attendance, as well as Prince Charles, Camilla and other royals.
Prime Minister Theresa May also attended the concert, which was organised by the British Legion as a "thank you to all who served, sacrificed and changed our world".
At one point, the royal family stood as thousands of audience members held aloft photographs of those who took part in the First World War, and descendants stood in the middle of the venue with pictures of their ancestors.
Mrs May and her husband Philip held aloft photographs of two of her ancestors, including Private Hubert Brasier Grant, of the East Surrey Regiment, who died at Passchendaele in 1917 aged 19.
The Prime Minister attended a service to mark the centenary of the battle last year and found her father's cousin's name on the Menin Gate Memorial in Belgium.
Sir Tom Jones led the musical performances, singing Coming In On A Wing And A Prayer alongside the RAF Squadronaires.
Sheridan Smith was backed softly by a piano as she sang Are You Just Sleeping, while Tom Fletcher from McFly performed Born To Fly with Danny Jones, which he wrote to celebrate 100 years of the Royal Air Force.
Sheku Kanneh-Mason, the cellist who delighted millions at Harry and Meghan's wedding earlier this year, played a modern version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah to a hushed crowd.
The crowd clapped along as members of the Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force marched in and gathered in formation at the centre of the room. Rows of poppies adorned the venue and were projected on to the floor.
The Royal Albert Hall was filled with singing as everyone stood for the hymn Jerusalem at one point, before the Last Post sounded and poppies began to fall from the ceiling.
The hall was bathed in silence as the petals fluttered down, some landing on the caps of servicemen and women standing below before forming a poignant carpet of red.
As the concert ended, members of the armed forces turned and sang the National Anthem to the Queen, who raised her right hand in acknowledgement twice as they sent cheers her way.
A rousing performance of Land Of Hope And Glory brought the emotional service to a close.
On Remembrance Sunday, Mrs May and the royals will lay wreaths at the Cenotaph and attend the national service to mark the centenary of the Armistice at Westminster Abbey.
The two minutes’ silence at 11am will be marked by the firing of guns from the King’s Troop on Horse Guards Parade.
Big Ben will also sound despite the clock tower being covered in scaffolding for conservation works.
The 13.7 tonne bell, which hangs in the Elizabeth Tower in Westminster, will sound 11 times at 11am at the beginning of the traditional two minutes of silence.
A bespoke electric mechanism has been built to power the 200kg striking hammer in order to ensure the Great Bell can mark Remembrance Sunday.
