2021 Hiroshima Day Commemoration – 6th August

People gathered in London’s Tavistock Square to commemorate Hiroshima Day – this year was particularly poignant given the unusual circumstances that we are in the midst of the Covid19 pandemic. Tower Hamlets CND members joined others, from across London, who came to hear speeches given by prominent politicians and activists, join in the singing and the traditional laying of flowers by Sabrina Francis, the current Mayor of Camden, at the Cherry Tree which was planted in 1967 by Millie Miller (Mayor of Camden).
