The TV personality has always championed the Royal British Legion and has been heavily involved in promoting the recycling of the plastic stems on poppies.
Camilla looked elegant in her first appearance at Westminster Abbey since the Coronation in May, as she paid respect to the fallen.
She was wearing a a green Rifles coat designed by Fiona Clare alongside a cape from Amanda Wakeley for the sombre event.
The ceremony began with prayers led by Dean of Westminster the Very Rev Dr David Hoyle and the Right Rev Anthony Ball, who is the rector of St Margaret’s.
Following this, the Queen placed a wooden cross adorned with a red poppy into a larger cross made from the red flowers associated with the First World War.
After observing a two-minute silence, the Queen met minister for veterans’ affairs Johnny Mercer, as well as staff and supporters of the Poppy Factory, which organises all the memorial plots at the abbey.
Around 40,000 tributes, including symbols of all faiths, were laid out by volunteers in more than 300 plots in the grounds of Westminster Abbey ahead of the ceremony, as veterans and guests came together to remember fallen comrades and loved ones.
She moved around the Field of Remembrance and chatted to the veterans, quizzing them about their plots and thanking them for their service.

Ex-service men and women, as well as members of the public, can plant a cross carrying a personal message in memory of those who have lost their lives in the service of others.
Amanda Shepard, chief executive of the Poppy Factory, said: ‘It was a great honour to have Her Majesty The Queen attend the Field of Remembrance once again, 95 years since a group of veterans from our factory first planted poppies in the grounds of Westminster Abbey.
‘Their intention was to publicly honour those who have given their lives in the service of others. It is vital that we continue to do so, and to offer an opportunity for people of all faiths and none to place their own personal tributes.
‘We are very grateful to Her Majesty for attending today, and for her longstanding and continued support for our charity as we work to help more members of the armed forces community overcome barriers and move forward towards a more positive future through employment.’
