Rhona Havers, mother of Rob Havers, was in Fulton during the ringing of the bells Wednesday. After the bells rang, she spoke to media and those attending about her experiences and memories of the air raids that damaged numerous churches, including the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, which now stands on Westminster's campus in Fulton.
Wednesday's ceremony commemorating the 70th anniversary of the London blitz bombing had special meaning to three British residents attending the event in Fulton.
One of them was Rhona Havers, who was 11 years old when German Luftwaffe bombs rained down near her home.
Havers is the mother of Rob Havers, executive director of the National Churchill Museum in Fulton, who presided over the joint London-Fulton church bell ringing ceremony Wednesday.
