Star Event Group were contracted by SW19 to provide a front of house structure along with their 10m x 8m mobile stage which played host to live performances from actor Adrian Lester, X Factor group Next of Kin, tenor Paul Potts as well as The Poppy Girls, whose fathers are all servicemen.
The 10m x 8m mobile stage built in just three hours offered maximum time to load in and the quick de-rig of the stage ensured the Square was clear within a few hours of the event finishing.
Charles Ellery from SW19 said, "It's the right tool for the job. We only get from 6pm the night before to build the entire site, so delays are not an option and the 10-08 is just so fast on the in."
Visitors to the Square also had the opportunity to place poppies into the fountains as a mark of respect and remembrance for those who lost their lives.
