Residents are invited to come together to remember and honour those who lost their lives during the pandemic and to recognize the incredible acts of kindness and dedication displayed during this challenging period.
Cllr Steve Pitt, Leader of Portsmouth City Council said:
“It important to commemorate those who have passed away as a result of the pandemic, while also acknowledging the remarkable displays of hope and unity that emerged during this time. Communities rallied together to support one another, volunteers selflessly offered their assistance, and frontline workers bravely risked their own well-being to save lives. This event provides an opportunity for us all to gather as a community and reflect in the peaceful setting of the Rose Gardens.”
2025 marks five years since the pandemic began. People and communities are invited to come together on the COVID-19 Day of Reflection, to mark the day in ways that feel meaningful to them.
