The
royals only payed lip service for some time as it suited, but the
benchmark was set, and eventually was adhered to.
These same principles were exported to the United States of America
and it was the American Bar Association which erected the memorial
on the site.
Retrace your steps to the turnoff to the John F Kennedy Memorial.
The memorial is half way up the hill in front of you through the
trees, a clear well maintained paved path takes you there.
Its
a bit of a climb, but nothing too strenuous.
The
Kennedy Memorial stands in its own acre of land, given by the people
of Britain to the USA, honouring the memory of the assassinated
President. A little piece of America by the Thames.
Unveiled by HM Queen Elizabeth II on 14 May 1965 in the presence
of President Kennedy's widow and children. The granite steps you
just climbed, one step for each year of Kennedy's life.
After
the monument continue uphill, we are now on our way to the third
and final monument - the Air Forces Memorial.
