Queen Camilla participated in the 'Poppies to Paddington' initiative on Armistice Day, boarding the 9:28 AM train from Chippenham, Wiltshire, to Paddington alongside commuters. The initiative, begun during November 2020 COVID lockdown, involves placing wreaths on early morning trains from over 60 stations arriving in London for a special Remembrance Day service. At Chippenham, nearest station to her Ray Mill home, Camilla received a crocheted poppy wreath from Monckton Primary School children who spent six weeks making it. She boarded a train named after WWII hero Odette Hallowes. At Paddington's Platform 1 memorial, the Queen participated in a moving service, laying wreaths during the traditional two-minute silence at 11 AM.
