What the wall means to people... ❤️

A quote displayed on a sign erected on a small green. The text reads: THE NATIONAL COVID MEMORIAL WALL
"We couldn't hug our consolations in times of great sadness, but We could be together here - loved ones and strangers - enduring loss, finding hope, remembering and grieving.
We are more than statistics, we are the lives, words and hearts on this wall."

Love this picture of the memorial wall taken from Westminster Bridge. ❤️ #Wednesday

Th memorial wall painted hearts looking very red beneath a canopy of green leaves, seen across a wide expanse of the Thames.
