The photos, messages, memories - the decency of all those people and the indecency of their deaths 💔 - wrapped up succintly in this "I miss you Mum" tribute. ❤️ to those whose loved ones perished due to the mishandling of #covid19 and those who tried to save them #CovidInquiry #CovidInquiryUK

You'd nearly miss this record of 252k + #covid deaths, if not coming over from #BigBen #HousesOfParliament. I hope those responsible hang their heads in shame every time they look out their office windows. The absence of shame also applies to #influencers posing at the wall - just don't

There were plenty of people milling around, tourists, runners, #Londoners but also #mourners so I have edited the images to remove the people from them. This is an active site of remembrance and commemoration

Finally made it to the #CovidMemorialUK wall at #Embankment #London and even as a #Death #Researcher this left me breathless. The wall stretches from Tower Bridge down Albert Embankment opposite #BigBen and near the #LondonEye #Covid #DeathStudies #Commemoration

Was delighted to speak on Irish civil registration at 'Accuracy of Cause-of-Death Registration: Everyday Conditions, Crises, and Epidemics' workshop @thegreatleap22116.bsky.social @uocuniversitat.bsky.social to #HistoricalDemography scholars. Thanks to organisers for a fab program
