The Memorial Gates is a war memorial located at the Hyde Park Corner end of Constitution Hill in London, UK. It commemorates the armed forces of the British Empire from Africa, the Caribbean and the five regions of the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) who served in the First and Second World Wars. The memorial was officially inaugurated in 2002 by HM The Queen.
“We are guardians of a precious flame, and it is our duty not only to keep it
burning brightly but to keep it replenished for the decades ahead.”
