A memorial to the civilians of Manchester who were killed between 1940 and 1945 during the Second World War. The sculpture was erected on the anniversary of VE Day. There are metal rings around the trunk that hold the names of the Manchester civilians who lost their lives during the conflict. Many of those lost died in the bombings of 22 and 23 December 1940. Over the two nights around 500 German bombers dropped 467 tons of high explosive and 2000 incendiary bombs on the city.
