85 years ago today. The Coventry Blitz. A terrifying night of loss and destruction. And what followed, a legacy of peace and reconciliation. It really is extraordinary. I am proud to be from this city.

Happy All Saints Day!
God of the generations,
when we set our hands to labor,
thinking we work alone,
remind us that we carry
on our lips
the words of prophets,
in our veins
the blood of martyrs,
in our eyes
the mystics’ visions,
in our hands
the strength of thousands.
