British To Honor Kennedy With Two-Part Memorial
A Kennedy memorial will be built near Windsor Castle at Runnymede. The plan divides into a plinth and steps for the U S government and a Massachusetts education fund. Prime Minister Douglas-Home backs the project with Queen Elizabeth II approving. The fundraiser seeks one million pounds, with 250,000 raised by month’s end. The memorial also honors Kennedy’s ideals with a focus on liberty.
