The D-Day 80 Lamp Light of Peace
Representing the ‘light of peace’ that emerged from the darkness of War
There will be many locations such as hospitals, care homes, pubs and restaurants etc, that would like to take part in D-Day 80 on 6th June 2024, but do not have the land or facilities available to light a Beacon. With this in mind, we would like to encourage you to purchase a Lamp Light of Peace, enabling you to participate in this 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, on 6th June 1944, providing you with the opportunity to pay ‘tribute’ to those that gave so much to enable us to share the freedom we have today.
The light from the flame will represent the ‘light of peace’ that emerged from the darkness of war, with the lamp providing a very simple and safe way of taking part in this important 80th anniversary occasion, and once used, can be lit again at 11am on every Remembrance Sunday thereafter, in tribute to the many millions that sacrificed their lives during WWII.
Those participating could consider running a raffle or a competition of some kind, with the winner having the honour of lighting the Lamp at 9.15pm on 6th June 2024, coinciding with the lighting of the Beacons throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man that evening.
Those taking part with a Lamp Light of Peace, please go to page 52 of the Guide To Taking Part to confirm your involvement by providing the information requested, enabling us to register your participation and keep in contact with you over the forthcoming months. We will then send you your Certificate of Grateful Recognition as shown on page 62 of the Guide. (IMPORTANT- once lit, the Lamp should NOT be left unattended at any time and should be extinguished at the end of the evening, and do NOT at any time attempt to re-fuel it while the Lamp is alight.
The cost of the lamp is £55.00 including posting and packaging within the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
