62. Garden of Remembrance – St Paul’s Cathedral

As we approach Remembrance Sunday, a number of events are arranged in and around the City in memory of the fallen servicemen and women who gave their lives for our freedom.

I attended one such event on Monday where the Royal British Legion opened a Garden of Remembrance in the North Churchyard of St Paul’s Cathedral. This was a very moving service in the presence of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress as well as the Sheriffs, where all 110 livery companies were represented.

Following the Lord Mayor, every Company laid a cross in the garden. Photographs show the service sheet & cross and the garden during the placing of the crosses.

It was an honour to represent our Company at this event.
