64 ‘Brothers in Arms’ Memorial

The 64 Freemasons who were awarded the Victoria Cross during WWI are being honoured with special commemorative stones bearing their names. The stones will be laid outside the iconic Freemasons’ Hall building in Covent Garden in a public ceremony, which also marks this year's 300^th anniversary of The United Grand Lodge of England and looks ahead to the 100^th anniversary of the end of WW1 in 2018. The memorial will be hosted by broadcaster and journalist Katie Derham, there will be performances from The Band of The Grenadier Guards and The North London Military Wives Choir, footage from WWI will be shown on a large screen and reading will be given.
