This all changed on the night of the 14th November ....
At around 7:10pm the air-raid siren sounded just as it had done on many occasions that year. Little did the people of Coventry suspect that this was about to become the most prolonged and devastating attack on any city in the history of warfare to date.
In the Morning all that was left was the outer walls
Coventry Cathedral.
To walk from the ruins of the old Cathedral into the splendour of the new is to walk from Good Friday to Easter, from the ravages of human self-destruction to the glorious hope of resurrection. Your heart is lifted, your spirit is renewed and you feel there is hope for the world Thanks to gods mercy, reconciliation is possible.
The words of John Irvine
The dean of Coventry Cathedral
