After many years of campaigning a memorial is going to be created to remember those of Bomber Command who lost their lives.
Some 55,573 bomber crew gave their lives in the defense of this country during World War II and only now is a permanent memorial being created.
Today the foundation stone was laid for the memorial which is to be built in Green Park, central London. It is planned to be completed by May 2012.
In my view this is long overdue especially when you consider the many memorials to other branches of our armed forces.
