In evidenza
The Air Forces Memorial at Runnymede is a solemn tribute to courage, sacrifice, and freedom. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll explore a masterpiece of memorial architecture that commemorates 20,455 airmen and women who died in World War II with no known graves. This memorial tells a powerful story of those who gave their lives in service to liberty, through thoughtful design elements and panoramic views. You’ll walk through carefully designed cloisters where names are inscribed on stone panels or ’books,’ allowing natural light to fall across them throughout the day. The site’s six acres, gifted by Sir Eugen and Lady Effie Millington-Drake, offer sweeping views westward to Windsor and eastward towards London. You’ll discover the memorial’s rich symbolism, from its stone eagle at the entrance, to the stars carved into column capitals. The tour ends in the Visitor Room, where directories allow for personal research and reflection on the airmen and women commemorated here.

About Windsor & Eton
Windsor and Eton face each other across the Thames west of London, one with a great royal castle and the other with a famous school.
Windsor Castle stands on a chalk ridge above the Thames and has been a royal residence for nearly a thousand years, making it the largest inhabited castle in the world. St George's Chapel, inside its walls, is a late-Gothic church with a fan-vaulted roof, the burial place of many monarchs and the setting for royal weddings. The Long Walk, a straight avenue of more than four kilometres, leads south from the castle into Windsor Great Park.
