A Message from the Patron - Brian Conley
“It is truly an immense honour to be involved with the Lamp Light of Peace and its work in promoting world peace. To participate in a symbol that goes beyond borders, cultures, and beliefs and to contribute to the universal desire for world peace, is both humbling and inspiring.”
Introduction
“As the embers of past conflicts
linger beneath our common life,
remembrance becomes not
merely a gesture, but a solemn
vow”
Each November we gather in shared silence and witness names read out, carved tenderly in stone. We are summoned to more than mourning, rather to see the possibility of enduring peace.
To remember is to recognise the humanity within each story: the hope in a soldier’s distant gaze, the echo of a mother’s lament, the innocence lost to a child’s vanished world. War is not the work of nameless nations, but of individuals; and it is here that we also find the seeds of peace, growing stronger through each of our memories.
As we remember, let the flame of peace also be passed between us, hand to hand - its light illuminating not only lives once lived, but the promise of a future yet unwritten. As the voices of those who have gone before fade into history, it is our responsibility to honour their sorrow and respond with hope to the living wounds that conflict leaves behind.
In a world often frayed at the edges, remembrance serves as our guiding star. Let us not only reflect on the past but also look to the future as joining across the land at 10.57am on November 11th as we light the Lamp of Peace.
This will be a symbol to guide us all as we step into the future with courage and hope for our fragile and beautiful world.
Let this lamp burn brightly, an emblem of our shared commitment to peace.

Official Lapel Badge
This beautifully crafted 40mm gold and enamel badge is a proud symbol of unity, remembrance, and the global hope for peace.
Created by Empire Medals in support of the Lamp Light of Peace campaign, it features secure butterfly clasps for a perfect fit.
The Flag of Peace
Flying 'The Flag of Peace throughout Nations' offers a traditional, simple but perhaps one of the most poignant and effective ways to take part in any act of remembrance.
The strong bold logo sits to the hoist of the flag, not only to maximise its visibility when flying but to help reinforce the symbolism and meaning of the flag.
The 'dove', a long held symbol piece carries a 'poppy', the flower or remembrance. It flies from struggle and conflict depicted by the red of the background towards the calm, stability, signified by the blue; leading into the light and wisdom signified by the gold.
Please join in a simple act of remembrance and hoist the flag at 10.57am on the morning of 11th November 2026 and every year that follows.
Available from £18.11-£118.82 Inc VAT
The Youth Lamp Light of Peace
The sounds of war, keep raging on
Where have my childhood visions gone
I need no stress in my tender years
Keep Mum and Dad close, then I’ll have no fears
It is children, who will rule the world
Step up, come forth, with banners unfurled
We can! We must! Use our brain
And light, the Lamp Light of Peace again.
Written by Chelsea Pensioner Roy Palmer.
How the Lamp Light of Peace can benefit animals in need today.
We have teamed up with the The War Horse Memorial CIC, who seven year’s ago unveiled in Ascot, Berkshire, the first national memorial dedicated to the millions of UK, Commonwealth and Allied horses, mules and donkeys lost during The Great War and subsequent conflicts.
The Lamp Light of Peace will support animal charities with £5 from every sale of each Lamp.
