The King’s New Great Seal Of The Realm Has Been Unveiled, A Symbol Of Sovereign Authority Traditionally

🎖️The King, The Queen and The Prince of Wales have hosted a special reception at Windsor Castle for holders of the Victoria Cross and George Cross.

The Victoria Cross is awarded to those serving in British and Commonwealth Forces who have shown tremendous bravery. The George Cross, which can be awarded to anyone, is given to people who show heroism or courage in extreme danger.

His Majesty has been Patron of the VC & GC Association since 2022.

We will remember them.

The Queen and Harrison Machin, 5, plant the final poppies in an installation at the Tower of London to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War. This act of Remembrance saw Her Majesty representing all those who served the Nation, with Harrison planting his poppy on behalf of the younger generation.

‘The Tower Remembers’ installation recalls the sacrifice and resilience of the wartime generation and will stand as a reminder of the long-lasting impact of conflict.

The Tower, which was itself bombed during the Blitz, will display nearly 30,000 ceramic poppies on the lawn to mark the year of Remembrance.

Royal Household staff have been working hard behind-the-scenes to put on a celebratory tea party for #VEDay veterans.

As well as traditional teatime treats, staff have made unique bunting from off-cuts of fabrics used in Royal residences.

Time for tea! ☕

A glorious afternoon spent with veterans to honour the bravery and service of the Second World War generation.

Those in attendance included British and Commonwealth Armed Forces veterans, WRENs, Special Operations Executives and those who contributed to the war effort on the home front, accompanied by their families and carers.

To mark such a special occasion, the Marble Corridor of Buckingham Palace was decorated in bunting made from fabrics recycled from the Royal Estates.

Great to pop in to see @avfcofficial yesterday ahead of tonight's Champions League game! 💪 Up the Villa
