Remember me
The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way mourn our loved ones; altering the ways we are able to say goodbye.
St Paul’s Cathedral has launched ‘Remember Me’, an online book of remembrance for all those who have died as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. People of any faith, or none, are invited to contribute to Remember Me.
The initiative is being supported by HRH The Prince of Wales and a physical Remember Me memorial is planned at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Join with people across the UK in sharing stories and pictures of your loved ones.
