Camilla, Queen Consort, officially takes over Field of Remembrance tradition, pays tribute to Queen Elizabeth

Camilla has officially taken over the Field of Remembrance ceremony.

After having stepped in for Queen Elizabeth over the last two years, the new Queen Consort took on the 94th edition of the tradition at Westminster Abbey on Thursday.

This year, for the first time, the cross Camilla placed among the poppies in tribute to fallen soldiers featured her own cypher instead of the Queen Elizabeth's ER design.

In a poignant tribute to the late monarch, a framed black and white photo of Her Majesty was among other crosses placed in the ground.

The Queen Consort was greeted by the Dean of Westminster Abbey, David Hoyle, on arrival.

The royal, escorted by Surgeon Rear Admiral Lionel Jarvis, then spent time meeting several members of abbey staff and members of the armed forces.

Camilla also met with presidents of charities Royal British Legion and The Poppy Factory.

The Queen Consort appeared to be taking a leaf out of the Princess of Wales's book by dressing in a deep green ensemble.

The 75-year-old, who also dressed in green during a visit to York on Wednesday, wore a sea green coat dress with black piping, complemented by a feathered headpiece and black leather gloves.

Following prayers from the Dean of Westminster and the canon-in-residence, the Queen Consort was invited to lay a cross on the Cross of Remembrance.

After a two-minute silence and more meet and greets with dignitaries, the Queen Consort moved inside St Margaret's Church to sign the visitors' book and meet members of the clergy.

Before leaving Westminster Abbey, the dean took the Queen Consort to view a plot in remembrance of Queen Elizabeth II, which featured the photo tribute.

Members of the public can visit the Field of Remembrance until November 20.

Prior to Camilla taking on the duties in 2020, Prince Harry was entrusted with the honour in 2018 and 2019.

A pregnant Duchess of Sussex skipped the 2018 ceremony but Meghan joined her husband the following year.

Before that, the Duke of Sussex took part in the tradition alongside his grandfather, Prince Philip, before the Duke of Edinburgh retired from royal duties in 2017.
