This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings. Merseyside Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament will commemorate this landmark with an exhibition at Liverpool Central Library and remembrance service at St. John’s Gardens.

The exhibition, beginning on 3rd August in the Library’s Picton Reading Room, will feature images of the bombings’ aftermath and victims, art drawn by survivors and a stark reminder, as Parliament prepares to vote on renewing Trident, of the grave threat that nuclear weapons still pose today.

The remembrance service will, as usual, take place in St. John’s Gardens at 11am on 6th August. We will be joined by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Tony Concepcion, who will lay a wreath in honour of the bombs’ victims and we’ll also have poetry readings and music.
Once the service has finished we will march, dressed in white, through Liverpool city centre to the Peace Garden at the Quaker Meeting House on School Lane.
