Floral cross in commemoration of the homeless

Floral cross assembled for St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, annual service of commemoration for those who have died homeless, which was held on Thursday 9 November 2023.  The service has been going since at least 2012.

At the service the cross was placed in a prominent position in front of the altar, but on Sunday 12 November, when this photograph was taken, it had been moved to outside the church’s entrance, and has had red flowers added to it, presumably updating it for Remembrance Sunday.
