From A serendipitous snap to Celebrations in Cirencester

A serendipitous snap

David Fish, of Rugby Meeting, shared this beautiful image with Eye, along with a touching tale of good timing.

He explains: ‘The hand is William Waddilove’s, supporting a perfect Japanese crane of peace.

‘William, of Coventry Meeting, has supported the city’s Hiroshima Remembrance event for many years – he was about to take his crane into the Chapel of Unity Coventry Cathedral on 6 August when our official photographer arrived.’

David writes: ‘William has always been there for peace and reconciliation – he even took food to Greenham Common. He has supported Coventry Peace House since 1997 and in 2015 designed, and was foreman to, their huge Meeting room.’
