Legacy Garden Celebration Event
A few years ago, The Open University in Milton Keynes set up a Leagcy Garden on their campus to honour alumni and supporters who leave a gift for the university in their Will.
Today was an annual event when they read out the names of all those who remembered the university in their wills in 2024. Brief details of these supporters were given such as which subjects they studied with the university, etc. The next of kin were invited for lunch and refreshments and to view some celebrations of the university to showcase how their support makes a difference to many lives.
Commemorative plaques were unveiled in the Legacy Garden including one which was for the deceased husband of a friend. We attended the event to be with our friend. We cried as we hugged one another. We hadn't seen each other since Covid19.
Rain came in the way during the ceremony and unveiling. The photo is not so great but it is more to mark the occasion.
