FOUR years ago The Press launched an appeal to honour York's sons and daughters who answered the call of duty in Afghanistan and provide a permanent tribute to the three York servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Since then £17,000 has been raised and today we can unveil the stained-glass window that will be installed this summer at All Saints Church in Pavement.
We think it is a beautiful design and a fitting tribute to this city's service men and women who fought in the cause of peace. It is also good that the commission was given locally to Helen Whittaker of Barley Studios in Dunnington.
Most importantly, we hope the window will be a source of pride for those who served and comfort to those whose loved ones didn't come home.
Thank you to everyone who donated so generously.
