The Lord Mayor of Plymouth, Councillor Michael Fox, His Excellency Williams Nkurunziza, Rwandan High Commissioner to the UK and Pastor Osee Ntavuka, Director Manager of All Nations Ministries in Plymouth laid the stone in the presence of over 200 people.
The occasion was marked by powerful and moving testimonies from survivors and flowers were laid in memory of Tutsi who lost their lives during some of the darkest days of human history. A reception was held afterwards at the Holiday Inn in Plymouth for the many guests attending.

All Nations Ministries would like to acknowledge the support of Plymouth City Council who gave their permission for the stone to be laid and Plymouth Co-operative Monumental Services for their kind donation of the memorial.
