Commonwealth Memorial Gates in London
About
Commonwealth Memorial Gates stands as a poignant tribute to the soldiers of the Commonwealth who fought in the World Wars. Just a short walk from Hyde Park Corner Station, near the iconic Wellington Arch, the site features five towering stone columns, each inscribed with the names of Commonwealth countries that contributed troops. The eternal flame at its center serves as a solemn reminder of their sacrifice. Unveiled in 2002 by the Queen Mother, the memorial continues to honor these soldiers, with annual commemorations taking place, particularly on Commonwealth Day. With a family-friendly environment, it's a reflective spot suitable for all ages, inviting visitors to pause and pay their respects.

Sehr schön Ort

A Commonwealth Memorial Gates egy emlékmű Londonban, a Hyde Park Corner közelében, amely az Indiából, Pakisztánból, Bangladesből, Srí Lankáról, Afrikából és a Karib-térségből származó katonák emlékére áll, akik az I. és II. világháborúban harcoltak a Brit Birodalom oldalán. Az emlékmű jellemzői: Öt kőoszlopból áll, amelyeken az említett országok nevei szerepelnek. Egy örökláng található rajta, amely a katonák áldozatát szimbolizálja. A Queen Mother (Erzsébet anyakirályné) avatta fel 2002-ben. Minden évben megemlékezéseket tartanak itt, különösen Commonwealth Day alkalmából. Elhelyezkedés és megközelítés: Az emlékmű a Hyde Park Corner és a Constitution Hill találkozásánál található, közel a Wellington Arch-hoz. A legközelebbi metróállomás a Hyde Park Corner (Piccadilly Line). Ha érdekelnek további részletek vagy a közelben található más emlékművek, szívesen segítek!
