Tomorrow marks 85 years since St. Michaelโ€™s Cathedral was bombed during the Coventry Blitz. Here are some of the final images of what the inside of the Cathedral looked before being destroyed. The shell of the Cathedral remains as the Ruins standing side by side the New Cathedral that opened in 1962 to remind us of our human capacity both to destroy and reach out to our enemies in reconciliation. Tomorrow we honour the lives lost tragically on 14th November 1940 while reaffirming our cityโ€™s mess
