Two generations of royal servicemen led the tributes of a nation at London's remarkable Field of Remembrance today. Prince Philip, who served in the Royal Navy in the Second World War, and his grandson, Prince Harry, who recently left the Army after a decade which included two frontline tours of Afghanistan, each placed a cross to add to the 100,000 already planted by the Royal British Legion to mark remembrance week.  Still ram rod straight despite his 94 years, Philip was wearing his Royal Navy day ceremonial and overcoat as he walked up to lay his tribute in the North Green outside Westminster Abbey. Harry was in his Blues and Royals frock coat as he followed him, placing his own cyphered cross in front of two wooden crosses from the Graves of Unknown British Soldiers from the First and Second World Wars, before saluting before he walked away.  Each November the Royal British Legion establishes a Field of Remembrance in the Abbey grounds, a sea of crosses with scarlet poppies, in tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The first Field of Remembrance was held in the grounds of Westminster Abbey in November 1928. That year only two Remembrance Tribute Crosses were planted. But it began a tradition that took root and has grown over the decades. Each Remembrance Tribute now carries a personal message to someone who lost his or her life in the Service of our country.  |

For the veterans who trooped into Buckingham Palace for the final steps of their marathon walk around the U.K. on November 1, this was not just the end. Their biggest cheerleader, Prince Harry – who who shared an emotional moment upon their return – encouraged them to stay the path.  "He said, 'Take care of yourself, and use this as a springboard to go forward, ' " says former U.S. Marine Andrew Bement, who was medically retired in March with PTSD. Following the 72-day Walk of Britain, which Harry joined for a stretch, "I now have a little bit more confidence than I did before," Bement tells PEOPLE. He has had to confront "experiences that are uncomfortable" in order to get used to them – such as being outside in large crowds, being in traffic, and speaking in public.  |

 Harry, who spent ten years in the forces, spoke of his longing for army life at a Walking With The Wounded charity event. The 31-year-old made the off-the-cuff comment as he congratulated former servicemen and women who had just completed a 1,000 mile charity walk.  One of the entourage accompanying the walkers asked the prince whether he missed serving with the troops. He responded: “Almost every day. The Army is a brilliant organisation full of brilliant people. "They are very loyal to one another and I miss that. It is irreplaceable.  When asked whether he would ever consider re-enlisting, Harry smiled and then joked: “I’d have to get rid of my beard first and it’s taken a long time to grow.” Harry left the forces in June this year after qualifying as an Apache helicopter pilot. |

 When Paddy Gallagher was a toddler, he met a famous rower who'd landed at his local Irish beach following a ground-breaking transatlantic crossing. The meeting spurred him to one day embark on a quest of his own. But Gallagher, 30, can never have predicted he'd be living his dream in the circumstances in which he's about to set off. The former Irish Guardsman is an amputee – just like the other three crew members in the boat that they will row across the Atlantic in next month. The man who inspired him was Don Allum, who landed his craft (called QE3) at a beach in Achill Island in 1987. "I was about 2-and-a-half," Gallagher tells PEOPLE. "Since then I've always wanted to row. It's a bit of a boyhood dream to do this. I may decide to do this solo!" |
