On 28 June The Queen unveiled the new memorial to those who died flying bombers in World War II. At the heart the memorial is a bronze sculpture by Philip Jackson showing seven bomber air crew 1.5-times life size housed in a classical Portland limestone structure designed by architect Liam O'Connor and built by S McConnel & Son of Kilkeel, Northern Ireland.

The project is featured in the July issue of the Natural Stone Specialist magazine.
