Thank you...
Thank you so much to everyone who joined The Royal British Legion at the ICC Newport on Saturday, November 1st, 2025, for the 45th annual Wales Festival of Remembrance. We would like to thank all the Presenters, Performers, Standard Bearers, Members of the Muster, and our wonderful Audience, who ensured that we had a packed auditorium.
It was truly a moving, enjoyable and poignant evening as the people of Wales came together to honour our Armed Forces Community and ensure that those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice are not forgotten.

Remember
We remember those from Wales who lost their lives on active service in all conflicts; from the beginning of the First World War right up to the present day. We also remember all those who have served and their families.
What is Remembrance?
We unite across faiths, cultures and backgrounds to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Wales, the UK and the Commonwealth.
