These are events which strike a huge chord with our audiences and it always a privilege to be able to bring these moving and powerful events to our viewers and listeners each year.
The Festival is being shown on 主播大秀 One this year and these will sit alongside all of the other great content across the network in the coming week.
I have been involved in covering the 主播大秀's Remembrance programmes since 2000 and everyone involved is always aware that we owe it to our audiences to make the television coverage as perfect and moving as it can be.
And, of course, that creates both challenges and opportunities for our production teams.
The Festival of Remembrance on Saturday night at the Royal Albert Hall is a complex production but one that it is crucial we get right because we know it's an event that is really valued by audiences. Last year, for example, we had over six million viewers watch the Festival.
The Festival itself is thoroughly planned and rehearsed, but (and there's always a but) the event itself takes place from about 7pm until 9.15pm and because there are parts which don't work as well for television - blackouts when bands change places for example - we traditionally 'tighten up' the show for broadcast. This means that editing is very last minute, and something that is very challenging when you are tight for time!
As we go on the air for a 95-minute show - a high-profile and important show at that - probably only the first 30 minutes is finished, then towards the end of the first 30 minutes the next 20 is finished and so on.
The important thing though is that we get the tone right and that at home it always looks effortless - something I'm really proud to say that the team does generally get right.
On Remembrance Sunday the ceremony from the Cenotaph, which takes place in Whitehall, is really an event with two distinct parts.
It begins with a very precise and perfectly staged open-air religious service with military music and the laying of wreaths by members of the Royal family, political and military leaders and diplomatic representatives, and ends with a march past of thousands of veterans.
Our team have a busy job when this happens because none of this is rehearsed and so the producers and directors covering the event have to plan with an almost clairvoyant instinct for where people will stand, the timing of various other elements and what would be particularly poignant or newsworthy this year. There might be a member of the Royal family that hasn't been present before, a regiment celebrating a particular anniversary, or a child or war widow representing a member of the family who died in action.
Spotting these stories, to ensure that we cover them properly and accurately amidst this huge unfolding live event, is crucial. The director has about fifteen cameras to cover the event, which sounds like a lot but actually however many you've got is never enough, and of course the more you've got the more choices you're confronted with.
The Remembrance Sunday ceremony from the Cenotaph, televised by the 主播大秀 each year since 1946, is actually one of the longest running live televised annual events in the world, and we are acutely aware that, as the national broadcaster, every year we are in the unique position of being able to bring such events to audiences - and with that comes our responsibility to audiences to always want to do it well.
While covering these live events might be challenging, I know I can speak for all of the teams in saying that we feel privileged to bring these unique moments to the nation and proud to carry on the 主播大秀 tradition of covering such events and recognising the amazing bravery and sacrifice of our armed forces.
