Voice and Verse Readings: Remembrance
To mark the opening of the Field of Remembrance, serving members of the British Armed Forces will read poems in the Abbey across the afternoon.
Hear the work of poets from the First World War brought to life by those serving today and take a moment to think about those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
A different poem will be read at 30-minute intervals across the afternoon from the pulpit in the nave.
