Now on display: a powerful art installation by Hill House School pupils. “At Sea” honours the Royal Navy & WRNS; “On Friendship” reflects on unity & VE Day. A moving tribute from young voices. #VEday #WRNS #ChildrensArt #Remembrance #LondonChurch
Betty generously told me her story of serving as a Royal Navy Wren in WWII. VE Day is a time of mixed emotions for so many veterans and civilians.
Thank you, Betty, and thank you to everyone who has placed duty before self.
