Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, has said National Service conscripts "shouldered the burden of freedom on our behalf" at a service to remember the two million conscripts who served. The event, which honoured National Service's 60th anniversary, took place at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. Anne laid a wreath at the Armed Forces Memorial to commemorate the 395 National Service members killed in active duty from 1947-1963.
