From 4 September 2006, the Tower of London unveiled a new permanent memorial to ten people whose executions are associated with Tower Green - it provides a focal point for contemplation, reflection and remembrance.
To mark the unveiling of the memorial, the Tower of London floodlights will turn red for two weeks, visible after dark, and a special concert of memorial music will be held in the Chapel Royal at the Tower on
15 September 2006. The memorial takes the form of a glass pillow resting on two polished disks, one of
glass featuring the names of the ten people and one of granite carved with the words of a remembrance poem penned by the artist. Brian Catling was awarded the commission in 2005 after five artists submitted proposals to interpret the Execution Site in a dignified and sympathetic way.
