THE NATIOAL COVID-19 MEMORIAL WALL
Wall of love: the incredible story behind the national Covid memorial wall
Started in March 2021 and stretching more than one-third mile (five hundred metres) along the South Bank of the River Thames, opposite the Palace of Westminster,the mural consists of approximately 150,000 red and pink hearts, intending to have one for each of the casualties of COVID-19 in the United Kingdom at the time of the mural's commencement.The intent was for each heart to be "individually hand-painted; utterly unique, just like the loved ones we’ve lost".
“The COVID Memorial Wall is a public space used to remember and respect loved ones who lost their lives due to COVID, and it is essential to maintain it with dignity.
I find this memorial very touching because I know that it wasn't proposed by the government but by the people and there's something very intimate about it. And in order to really feel the scope and effect, you have to see just how long it is, how many hearts there are and that's when it really hits you. That's when you realise how every heart here symbolises a life. I think it's powerful. It's very simple and straight to the point and there's something very beautiful about that”
