Chelmsford Peace Tree rededicated to the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the memory of Janet Bloomfield, Atomic Mirror UK Director

Quakers at Chelmsford Local Meeting rededicated their recently restored Peace Tree to both the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the memory of Janet Bloomfield, Atomic Mirror UK Director.

Janet, who suddenly passed away in April, was planning to attend the rededication of the Cherry Tree. After her death Chelmsford Local Meeting were moved to add a dedication to her alongside the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

In attendance at the rededication were Janet's husband, Richard, her children, Lucie and Robin, and Paul Ingram, defence policy analyst and former colleague of Janet's.

After the ceremony Paul Ingram gave a talk to the local meeting on the the issues currently facing those working for a Nuclear War (including the renewal of Trident and the threat of War with Iran).

Both Janet's family and the Atomic Mirror feel honoured to have her work and life commemorated in this fashion.
