Conscientious Objectors (COs) of the first world war were remembered at a moving ceremony in Tavistock Square on 15 May, International Conscientious Objectors Day. Several hundred people gathered for a ceremony that included speeches, songs performed by the choir of a London school, the ‘naming of first world war conscientious objectors’ by relatives and the laying of flowers in honour of COs past and present.
