[MUSIC] This is the Air Forces Memorial at Runnymede. The monument was unveiled by the Queen on 17th October, 1953. It commemorates by name over 20,000 air force personnel who were lost in the Second World War, and who have no known grave. They came from all parts of the Commonwealth, and some were from countries from the rest of Europe which had been occupied, but whose airmen continued to fight in the the ranks of the Royal Air Force. While the outside feels militaristic, even authoritarian, the inside provides a more reflective setting. In contrast, inside tells a different, more personal story. A story that's more private than public, more small than grand, but links the individual to the collective. Links the individual sacrifices to the collective sacrifices. Here visitors can appreciate each individual life as it was lead, and often relatives and friends and just visitors leave behind mementos. Markers of memory to those who died in Second World War. This is a place of contrasts. On the outside the building looks militaristic. Authoritarian even. However, inside is a place of reflection where relatives to the men and women who died serving their country place memorials to the individuals. So we move from the grand space to the small. From the community to the family and back again. We think about those loses in terms of the liberty that was won against a background of slavery and enslavement across Europe. And what is not remembered now is the fact that these regimes in Germany and in Italy were based upon enslavements of peoples. That Germany itself would employ millions of slave labourers, both from Ukraine and Poland and even internal to the country amongst those they consider to be the minorities. This is why this place matters. It matters in terms of liberty and that liberty that connects back to Magna Carta. And that, and those liberties that still need to be defended today. Some may argue that this is the heart of England. In the west is Windsor Castle. Running behind me is the meadows where Magna Carta was sealed, and over on the east is the city of London, which again features in the great charter. The monument that we're standing on here is designed by Sir Edward Maufe and completed and opened in 1953. It is a memorial to those airmen, 20,000 of them, who died during the Second World War and have no known grave. These men and women died for liberty. It was a point that would be picked up by Roosevelt in '41, but again throughout the war that people were fighting for freedom. And that freedom can be traced straight back to Magna Carta in many ways. Indeed Magna Carta itself was used in a number of cases during the second World War. The Lincoln Magna Carta spent it's life during the Second World War in the United States and would be later returned to Britain at the back of the war. The connections between United States and Britain that we've talked about became extremely important after '41. And it's probably on that basis that we now know the special relationship that's commemorated in the JFK memorial below us here, and the American Bar Association's memorial to Magna Carta. And that's what makes the connection between United States and Britain so strong to date.
