RAF Bomber Command Memorial, War memorial in Green Park, London, United Kingdom
The memorial features seven bronze aircrew figures standing within a classical Portland limestone structure, representing returning airmen from a mission point.
Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated this monument on June 28, 2012 to honor 55,573 RAF Bomber Command members who died during World War II.
The memorial serves as a central gathering point for annual commemorative events and ceremonies that honor the contributions of international aircrews during wartime.
