This year local councils are planning events on Sunday November 14 to commemorate the contribution of the Armed Forces and their families from Britain and the Commonwealth.
It remembers those who fought in World War One and later conflicts and people across the country traditionally wear a poppy.
The Queen usually leads services on Remembrance weekend at the Cenotaph in London, but this year has been advised to take on desk-based duties for the next two weeks.
In a statement given last Friday, the palace said: “Her Majesty regrets that this means she will be unable to attend the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday November 13.
“However, it remains The Queen’s firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on November 14.”
