Quietly, and this year without ceremony, the Society has arranged for a wreath of flowers to be placed at the V2 memorial in Staveley Road as we do every year. It was laid just a few minutes before the actual anniversary of the rocket exploding at 18.44 on 8 September 1944.

The wreath commemorates the three people who died that evening: Rosemary Clarke, aged 3, Ada Harrison, aged 68 and Sapper Bernard Browning, aged 28.
