This year is the 77 th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Please join us on Saturday 6 August 2022 at 8.30pm at Rushmere pond on Wimbledon Common (near the War Memorial) for our simple ceremony of poetry and quiet reflection. This year, we have a change to our usual procedure of launching symbolic lighted boats, in the Japanese tradition. Due to the tinder-dry grass on the common and the risk of an accidental fire, we have made the decision to create the symbolic light a bit differently! Please bring a torch or use the torch on your mobile phone, and we will then form a solemn procession around the pond.
