The names of 149 people were read aloud at an annual commemoration service at St Martin-in-the-Fields recently. All were homeless or formerly homeless, and all had died in the last year in London.

The service, organised by The Connection at St Martin’s, St Martin-in-the-Fields and Housing Justice, brought together everyone who wanted to remember those who had died during the year, whether still on the streets, in hostels or in accommodation after being homeless.
