Sir Harold Hillier Gardens

Lecture Lunch - We Will Remember Them

Tuesday 11th November 2025

10.30am

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) maintains graves, cemeteries, and memorials for over 1.7 million service personnel in 23,000 locations across 153 countries. It is likely the largest horticultural organisation globally.

This talk will share stories, including that of a local VC hero, and discuss the challenges the CWGC faces in keeping memories alive today.

Coffee at 10.30am. Held on Armistice Day, we invite you to pause for a 2-minute silence. Followed by a lecture and a two-course lunch served in Jermyn’s House set in the heart of the Gardens.

The CWGC does not charge for talks. The Gardens will make a donation on behalf of all attendees.
