Leaders from three religions will come together for an interfaith Armistice Day service at the Hampstead War Memorial, as part of events across Camden and Haringey

The service will be jointly led by the Rev Diana Young, from Hampstead Parish Church, Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, of the New North London Synagogue along with Muslim representative Sheikh Dr Muhammad Al-Hussaini and Monsignor Phelim Rowland, from the Diocese of Westminster.

Organiser Linda Chung, from the Hampstead War Memorial Restoration Group, said: “On Armistice Day, whether you are of faith or none, these spiritual leaders of communities unite us in shared sorrow and remembrance at the tragic loss of life caused by the conflict of wars.”

Six years ago, after a fundraising campaign, the then crumbling Hampstead War Memorial was restored with £30,000 donations from the community and veterans.

It was rededicated in a ceremony in August 2010 with representatives of the Royal British Legion and the Kings Troop. Ms Chung, who helped lead the campaign, said: “The War Memorial at the top of Hampstead is a symbol that we will never forget all those who gave their lives to save our future.”

Mayor of Camden Nadia Shah said: “This is a time of commemoration that unites our community in remembering all those who have lost their lives in both past and current conflicts.

“War transcends all cultures and I’m proud that Camden residents from all backgrounds are standing together to consider these effects and give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in our borough today.”

The service will take place at the Whitestone Pond War Memorial tomorrow (Friday) at 10.30am.
