The Palace said: “The King will lay a wreath, the design of which pays tribute to the wreath of His Majesty’s grandfather, King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth II.
“The wreath’s poppies are mounted on an arrangement of black leaves, as is traditional for the Sovereign, and its ribbon bears The King’s racing colours; scarlet, purple and gold. The Royal racing colours were also incorporated into the wreaths of King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.”
Queen Camilla’s wreath will be laid by an “Equerry from the Royal Household,” according to Buckingham Palace.
The King and The Queen’s wreaths have both been produced by The Poppy Factory.
