The British royals are set to honour the Air India plane crash victims at Trooping the Colour.
The Royal Family will wear black armbands at the request of King Charles on 14 June in London.
The King has asked the Royal Family to honour the victims of the plane crash in India, of whom 53 were British.
King Charles has also requested a moment of silence after he inspects the troops from the Number 7 Company Coldstream Guards to remember “the lives lost, the families in mourning and all the communities affected by this awful tragedy,” a Buckingham Palace spokesman said.
An Air India plane bound for London crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on Thursday, 12 June. The plane crashed into a hostel for doctors nearby. At least 290 people are dead.
Of the 242 on board the plane, only one, a British citizen, survived.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Trooping the Colour begins at 10:30 am. It can be watched on the BBC.
