This year marks the centenary of one of the most poignant events following the First World War: the burial of The Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey.

On the 11th of November, 1920, his name, rank, and regiment all unknown, he was returned from the battlefields of Europe and buried with full State honours.

100 years on, one of the songs sung at his burial, Abide With Me, has been re-recorded by the Military Wives Choirs.

Backed by Westminster Council, the Military Wives Choirs came together, from the capital and beyond.

All vocals were recorded individually due to coronavirus restrictions.

Alongside the single, the Military Wives Choirs have also released a documentary. It charts the final journey of The Unknown Warrior, from the French battlefields to his state funeral in Westminster Abbey.

He has come to represent all those who died in World War One.

They hope the song can be a reminder to never forget all those who serve in war and conflict.
