UK National Covid Memorial Wall

A second mention of our beloved wall in Parliament today shows an understanding that the wall is an ongoing thing, a living memorial to our beloved dead. ❤️

Some beautiful new posters for our memorial - we are very grateful to the South Bank Employers Group for making it possible. ❤️ #london

It was a bit wet at the wall yesterday! ❤️ #StormAusten

The report for module 6 of the UK covid inquiry, the care home module, publishes at noon. We know today will be hard for many of you, and we know that grief can be compounded by rage. ❤️

A beautiful morning at the wall, taking the step-free route. ❤️ #accessibility

Even at the seaside, hearts follow us. ❤️

The volunteers were working under a dramatic sky this week... ❤️

One of our volunteers is on the way to Munich, and was just presented with this. Hearts follow us. ❤️

We nearly got lost under the autumn leaves blowing along the wall today🍁❤️

We're so proud of our volunteer Lynn Jones MBE who, in addition to being a trustee of and volunteer for our charity, has also been instrumental in achieving this local memorial in Stoke-on-Trent. ❤️

Ready for coffee. ❤️ #Monday #MondayMorning

Sunday morning visit to see Isaac's name and heart at the Covid memorial wall.

Sharpie work. Part of a volunteer's day is spent restoring faded writing. We will never forget them. ♥️

We are the National Covid Memorial Wall. ♥️

I was so proud to welcome my late husband's family to the @covidmemorialwall.bsky.social today. Seeing them, I stay connected to him. ♥️

#ThrowbackThursday Remembering the day the ten Friends of the Wall became the trustees and volunteers of The National Covid Memorial Wall CIO, working towards the permanence of the national memorial to our beloved covid dead. We will never forget them. ♥️

The seasons change. Our love does not. We will never forget them. ♥️🍂

Three years ago the Commission for Covid Commemoration recommended that the National Covid Memorial Wall should be preserved. In Autumn 2025 the UK government announced that it had accepted this recommendation and the team are working with our Trustees for the Wall's preservation. ♥️

Whst the Wall means to people. "My dad's heart..." ♥️

Just a small sample of graffiti we had to remove from our memorial for the UK covid dead. 💔

We cannot understand people who write over a dedication to the dead. 💔

Volunteers are up early on a Friday, getting ready to work at the Wall - one of them snapped this at 5.00 am. ♥️ #LunarEclipse

One of our beloved volunteer support pets crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. We'll miss you, Scooby. ♥️

Among her many humanitarian acts of generosity, in 2020 Dolly Parton made a $1m donation to covid-19 vaccine research. We will never forget her. ♥️

Battling graffiti at the Wall. White paint is the first step in the time-consuming process of restoring defaced hearts and dedications. ♥️

"I'm tired of living with grief, instead of you." ♥️

Beautiful... ♥️

Tributes left at the wall for lost loved ones. We will never forget them. ♥️

Today we updated the number of covid dead in the UK. ♥️

Wishing you all a productive day - we're doing paperwork. 🫣♥️

Our volunteers don't travel light - they carry your hearts with them. ♥️

This couple, visiting their loved one's heart at the Wall, showed us their beautiful necklaces. ♥️

Yesterday our team of volunteers were being closely watched. These supervisors were obviously quality checking! ❤️

One of our volunteers took a knock to the arm today. Hearts follow us... ♥️

Some imperfect hearts on our wall - grief leaves a space our hearts can't fill... ❤️

One of two benchmarks on our memorial. ❤️ #BenchmarkMonday

Restoring dedications... ❤️ #london #CovidMemorial

A skeleton crew today, but it's a beautiful day at the wall... ❤️
