  • In memory of fallen WW2 Polish Air Force crews, are the front gates of Polish War Memorial, on 6th November 2019, in South Ruislip, Northolt, London, England. The Polish War Memorial is in memory of airmen from Poland who served in the Royal Air Force as part of the Polish contribution to World War II. The memorial was designed by Mieczyslaw Lubelski, who had been interned in a forced labour camp during the war. It is constructed from Portland stone with bronze lettering and a bronze eagle, the symbol of the Polish Air Force. The original intention was to record the names of all those Polish airmen who lost their lives while serving during WW2 (a total of 2,408) but there was not enough space for this and, as a compromise, the names of the 1,241 who died in operational sorties are there instead.

  • A memorial to a soldier named Gary Golbey wreaths lie after Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in London's Whitehall, on 12th November 2019, in London, England.

The champion Army boxer spent more than two decades with the Staffords – now 3 Mercian – and saw active service in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Iraq, where he completed two tours of duty.

  • The war memorial in the churchyard of St Mary's in the Northumbrian village of Blanchland, on 29th September 2017, in Blanchland, Northumberland, England. St. Marys is on the site of the former Abbey and the village got its name from the white habits worn by monks of the Premonstratensian order who founded Blanchland Abbey. Built in the 13th century, the abbey survived until the 16th century when it fell into ruin. Parts of the Abbey survive including St. Mary's Church, which was rebuilt in 1751-52. Blanchland is a village in Northumberland, England, on the County Durham boundary. It is a conservation village, largely built of stone from the remains of the 12th-century Abbey. It features picturesque houses, set against a backdrop of deep woods and open moors. Set beside the river in a wooded section of the Derwent valley, Blanchland is an attractive small village in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
