The Queen and other members of the Royal Family are taking part in remembrance-themed events in London.

The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Cambridge are at the opening of a memorial garden in central London.

The Queen laid a wreath of poppies at the memorial at Wellington Barracks.

The garden she opened has been created with soil from battlefields and Commonwealth War Grave Cemeteries in Flanders.

Wellington Barracks is the home of Her Majesty's Household Division.

Earlier, Prince Harry visited the field of remembrance at Westminster Abbey.

He met the president of the Royal British Legion Poppy Factory and workers from the factory, as well as the dean of Westminster and clergy from St Margaret's Church.

The prince laid a cross of remembrance in front of two wooden crosses from the graves of unknown British soldiers from the World War One and World War Two.

The Last Post was played and attendees observed two minutes' silence.

It was his second visit to the field of remembrance at Westminster Abbey - he accompanied Prince Philip to the site last year.

The first field of remembrance was opened in the grounds of the abbey in November 1928, when two tribute crosses were planted.

Since then, the tradition has grown and the field is home to thousands of remembrance tributes every year, each cross carrying a personal message to someone who lost his or her life.

Prince William and Prince Harry are expected to meet medical staff responsible for the care and recovery of British service personnel and veterans at Buckingham Palace later on Thursday.
