This is one of a thousand beacons that were lit throughout the United Kingdom on 11/11/18.
This was a commemoration inspired by a comment made on the 3 August 1914 by Britain’s Foreign Minister, Sir Edward Grey. He was looking out of his office window at dusk as gas lights were being lit along London’s Mall when he remarked to a friend ‘the lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime’. The Country was about to be plunged into darkness of the First World War and it would not be four long years before Britain and Europe would again experience the Light of Peace.
