Members of the public are invited to adorn the walls of the wooden structure with letters or mementoes, before it is burned on 28 May.
In March 2021, a mural organised by COVID-19 Bereaved Families for Justice opened to the public in London.
The National COVID Memorial Wall stretches 500m along the River Thames and has been pained by volunteers to commemorate the victims of the pandemic."This past year and a half has not been easy for anyone. We have faced terrible tragedy and great loss. I believe in the power of collaboration and community, that by recognising pain and sadness, and laying down our burdens, we can face the future from a place of hope and renewal," Mr Best said.
"To let go of something so personal, you have to lose the piece. What does it mean if something stays there forever, it doesn't mean anything. If it stays in people's memories that is a much stronger thing than some statue that they never look at." Councillor Kris Wilson, who is the leader of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, added:"It is a symbolic burning of the tower and its meant to symbolise the end of one thing and the renewal or rebirth of another."
