The Society’s annual wreath, commemorating those who died in the V2 which fell on Staveley Road, will be laid tomorrow evening, the anniversary of the date on which the rocket hit Chiswick in 1944.

The wreath will be placed at 6.44pm, the time it exploded. The memorial was unveiled in 2004 on the 60th anniversary, a joint project of the Society and the Battlefields Trust London Chapter. It is in Staveley Road near its junction with Burlington Lane

Local resident Derek Cowie came to the event for the first time and we asked him to lay the wreath (right).
