This is one of those strange locations that is a required visit as I believe everyone on occasion needs to be reminded of the enormous sacrifice others made for our today. Beautifully appointed and architecturally astute, a walk around these gardens and graves will sadden and illuminate simultaneously. Saddest of all perhaps are the graves of so many, so young, who died after hostilities ended in both world wars and to see names of, (again), so many young people who traveled half a world to lose their lives and end up here. Honour them with your presence just once.

We live nearby but never tire of walks around the cemetery. If you haven't visited then make a point of going. There's history, quirky stuff and a lovely glade at the back of the site. Woking are making it more tourist friendly, let's hope that is done sensitively.
5. Air Forces Memorial

The Air Forces Memorial at Runnymede commemorates by name over 20,000 airmen who were lost in the Second World War during operations from bases in the United Kingdom and North and Western Europe, and who have no known graves. They served in Bomber, Fighter, Coastal, Transport, Flying Training and Maintenance Commands, and came from all parts of the Commonwealth. Some were from countries in continental Europe which had been overrun but whose airmen continued to fight in the ranks of the Royal Air Force. This Memorial overlooks the River Thames on Cooper's Hill at Englefield Green between Windsor and Egham on the A308, 4 miles from Windsor.

Have visited this venue on a couple of occasions and I never fail to feel humbled by the experience. You also have a wonderful view from the tower and, on a clear day, you can see Wembley Stadium.
