Our Statement in response to President Trump's comments:
The service and sacrifice of British personnel in Afghanistan cannot be called into question, and we condemn any comments that undermine their extraordinary contribution.
457 British personnel lost their lives in Afghanistan and thousands more and their families now live with the lifelong physical and mental impact from service in that conflict.
We'll be tweeting during tonight's #FestivalofRemembrance at @RoyalAlbertHall from 9.10pm. If you'd like some company whilst you watch on @BBCOne, just follow the hashtag.
This year's socially distanced #FestivalofRemembrance was pre-recorded at the end of October due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
