The President of the Republic, Mr Nicos
Anastasiades, accompanied by his spouse Mrs Andrie Anastasiades visited today
Westminster Abbey, where he laid a wreath at the grave of the Unknown Warrior,
and signed the Book of Distinguished Visitors.
In the Book of Visitors the President
wrote the following: “It is with feelings of humility and deep respect, that I
stand witness to the sacrifice of thousands of remarkable men and women who
fell heroically in the struggle to achieve the ecumenical values of freedom,
democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
May their soul always rest in perfect
peace. There could not be a more befitting place to commemorate them, other
than the Westminster Abbey, a truly exceptional building that symbolizes the
long and rich tradition of the British nation.”
Later on, the President and his spouse
were escorted on a tour of the Abbey.
