Commemorating Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Bromley 2020

On Saturday 1st August members and supporters of Bromley Borough CND assembled opposite the central library to commemorate the use of nuclear weapons against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6th and 9th August 1945. We maintained a two hour presence outside the library before processing on a silent and dignified walk around Bromley High Street. We all wore our face masks as a mark of respect to the victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings and also to victims of the Covid 19 virus. We then walked to the lake in the Library Gardens where we scattered chrysanthemum petals on the lake. Afterwards we read poetry written by members of Bromley Borough CND.
