Lest We Forget 🌹

The Commonwealth Air Forces memorial, is situated just 10 minutes from Windsor at the top of Coopers Hill, at Runnymede above the Magana Carta Memorial and the Kennedy Memorial overlooking the River Thames.

It commemorates by name over 20,000 airmen who were lost in the Second World War during operations from bases in the United Kingdom and North and Western Europe, and who have no known graves.

It is a beautiful and thought provoking place to visit, and remember those who sacrificed so much.

Visitors are welcome, more information can be found here:
