INVITATION – FRIDAY 2ND DECEMBER
At 2pm, that day, there is to be the unveiling of the Philip Larkin Bench.
This unveiling will mark the centenary of Philip Larkin’s birth, and will take place on the anniversary of his death. The bench is placed at the point the where Philip Larkin and John Betjeman met in 1964. This meeting was recorded by the BBC.
The bench was purchased by the Friends of Hull General Cemetery, with a generous donation from the Philip Larkin Society, who will be represented on Friday.
It would be great if you could be there to celebrate with us. Meet at the main gates on Spring Bank West.
Pete Lowden is a member of the Friends of Hull General Cemetery committee which is committed to reclaiming the cemetery and returning it back to a community resource.
