To all those who perished 80 years ago today, you are not forgotten. You are part of and a testament to, Coventry’s unbreakable spirit and will be so forever.
In 2020, the Coventrians of today face our own hardships, as we adjust to a disrupted way of life and we worry just as much about what the future holds for us, as our forbears worried in 1940. They showed us strength of character, strength of community and strength of prayer. Let us follow the example that has been set for us and meet this new challenge with the same indomitable spirit and dignity as the Coventrians of 1940 met theirs.
Father Forgive.

Very interesting. Thanks for the great service to commemorate that November night.

Coventry was a legitimate military target.
The RAF had already bombed cities and towns in Germany for six months.
