Well the weather made this a must visit day.
As promised the good lady and I made a visit to the IBCC and it was a trip worth making.
The centre consists of a main building with a small but very worthwhile visiting exhibition centre,cafe and shop. Then there are the peace gardens with the huge memorial and walls of remembrance.
The exhibition consists of artefacts, original video footage and then on the second floor information on the "Home front".
The peace garden has the memorial and walls of remembrance that list the names of every person who lost their lives serving Bomber Command.
I have only included one item (two pics) from the exhibition as most is video/reading information.
Pictures attached are as follows:
The centre from the peace garden
The memorial from the centre
The memorial base
Three pictures approaching the memorial walls of remembrance
Two pictures looking from the memorial across the city of Lincoln to the Cathedral.
Two pictures of the Knights of the skies
Please take a few seconds to read the info on the "Knights of the skies" to see the relevance and understand the story behind the lovely artwork.
