The Remember Me online remembrance book will be open for entries for as long as needed and is intended to become a physical memorial at the Cathedral serving as a fitting memorial for all who have died as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Very Reverend David Ison, Dean of St. Paul's, said: “'For centuries, St. Paul's Cathedral has been a place to remember the personal and national impact of great tragedies, from the losses of war to the devastation of the Grenfell Tower fire. We have heard so many sad stories of those affected by the pandemic, and all our thoughts and prayers are with them. Every person is valued and worthy of remembrance. We are all experiencing the devastating impacts of COVID-19 across the country and beyond. Remember Me is an opportunity to mourn every person we have lost to the effects of this terrible disease, an encouragement to offer compassion and support to those left behind, and an ongoing recognition of the impact of the pandemic on the UK.”
