Leaders at St Paul’s Cathedral last night praised the ‘overwhelming support’ shown by Daily Mail readers for the drive to create a new national memorial to Britain’s Covid victims.
Readers have given more than £115,000 towards the memorial since the Mail launched the Remember Me campaign to help build it at the weekend, smashing the £100,000 milestone in less than 72 hours.
The cathedral is planning a magnificent new entrance and chapel with screens showing a virtual book of remembrance immortalising the names and pictures of those lost to the coronavirus pandemic.
It is hoped the memorial – which will be open to those of any faith or none and will feature a grand oak portico engraved with the words ‘Remember Me’ – will become an important place of pilgrimage for generations to come.

Generous Mail readers have stepped in to help raise the £2.3million needed for the oak portico, donating an incredible £65,500 in just two days. It takes the total already raised by St Paul’s to more than half a million pounds.
Backing the campaign, Sir Simon said NHS hospitals had treated 400,000 seriously ill patients with Covid-19 – which has claimed the lives of 127,524 across the UK to date.
‘Nurses, doctors, and countless other staff have witnessed first-hand the terrible toll this virus has inflicted,’ he said.

Indeed, what better way to focus our grief and to reflect on what we have all endured over this past momentous year than to be able to visit a dedicated national memorial.
It will take the form of a new entrance – a spectacular oak portico engraved with the words Remember Me – to the cathedral, and at least four screens showing the book of remembrance installed in the Middlesex Chapel.
