Hornsea Rotary register a dear lost friend for Remember Me - a book of remembrance for all those who died as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK

A campaign has been launched to raise £2.3m to build a memorial inside St Paul's Cathedral to those who have died because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It will see an online book of remembrance installed in a purpose-built structure in the London landmark. More than 7,300 names have already been entered into the book as part of the cathedral's Remember Me project.

It is hoped the memorial would provide a reflective space for visitors to remember loved ones.

St Paul's set up the online book to enable families, friends and carers to record and mourn those who have died as a result of the pandemic. It is open to people of all beliefs.

The Rotary Club of Hornsea and East Riding lost a dear friend to Covid in November last year when Rotarian Doctor John Gosnold died. After consultation with wife Kath and the family our club registered John’s details on the ‘REMEMBER ME’ site.
