The event highlights the charity’s work to support servicemen and women from UK and Commonwealth countries.
The royals joined a congregation which included serving members of the armed forces, veterans, and their families.
Princess Anne donned a purple coat and black gloves for the event.
The Queen, using a walking stick as she stepped out of her car, wore a striking – and very apt – royal blue coat with gold buttons.
She carried a small black handbag and accessorised her look with pearl earrings, a necklace and a stunning sapphire brooch that originally belonged to Queen Mary.
The monarch has been pictured with a walking stick before, including in 2003 following an operation to remove torn cartilage from her right knee.
