Memorial Event at the Groves
The Hiroshima Nagasaki memorial in Chester has been held every year since about 1981, with readings, dropping white flowers on the river and a period for silent reflection. About 6 years ago, with an assistant ambassador from the Japanese Embassy, we planted a memorial tree on the south bank of the river, and the final reading always comes from there. The whole event only lasts 30-40 minutes.
