This memorial was unveiled on the 17th October 1953 to commemorate the deaths of over 20,000 airmen and woman during the Second World War.

Also known as the Runnymede Memorial, you can read thousands of names of the dead inscribed in the panels in the courtyard that surrounds the quietly somber shrine in the middle. If you look above the carved angels in the cloister, you'll see engraved vapour trails to evoke the memory of air battles during the war.

Upon leaving the walled in courtyard, you are treated to views down over the River Thames and across the verdant county of Surrey.
