National Day of Reflection
The Day of Reflection in the United Kingdom is a day to remember those who died during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was initiated, as the National Day of Reflection, in 2021 by the Marie Curie charity, and was held on 23 March, the anniversary of the first COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom.[1] In 2024 the word "National" was removed and the date of the fourth day was changed to Sunday 3 March 2024.[2] The event is supported by the Church of England.[3]
In 2022 the Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, wrote the poem "Only Human", which he read at the service held at York Minster on the National Day of Reflection.[4]
