COVID: Bereaved families call for coronavirus memorial wall to be made permanent

'They were partying when we were terrified, we were hurting'

Diane Devine and her sister Patricia McCarron had to watch their mother's funeral service on a laptop due to COVID restrictions."It was so disrespectful. They were partying when we were terrified, we were hurting - there's no words to describe the anger you felt for them," she said.They'd travelled down from Glasgow to the memorial wall and had met up Shamsa Siqqiqui, who'd also lost her mother.

After seeing a post on a Facebook group for bereaved relatives last year, Shamsa drew a heart upon the wall for the sisters when restrictions meant they were unable to come to London themselves. Now they have a powerful bond."It's disgusting, absolutely disgusting, and unacceptable," she said."We were all in our homes doing what the government told us.

"I couldn't see my mum in the hospital. She died on her own, and they were having parties. It's not right."Monica Mirzynska is another who wants the wall, which overlooks parliament, to become permanent and powerful reminder of the sacrifices made."They are the only people that understand you have lost someone very dear to you.

"I did a funeral on my own. I abided by the rules, staying at home, not seeing family. To think at that time they were having parties…"

Maybe they were asking Kay or Beth,.

No doubt Labour activists or even plants from Sky, wouldn't put it past you lot.

Wonder who paid for that

I'm not entirely sure how cake at Downing Street killed these peoples' relatives. But then logic doesn't appear to have mattered much over the past two years anyway.
