20th Anniversary Commemorative Quilt
LEST WE FORGET
This quilt is dedicated to all those who lost their lives
in the events of 21 December 1988.
The 259 leaves on the tree depict the souls who lost
their lives whilst passengers on Pan Am Flight 103.
The 11 pebbles depict the residents of Lockerbie who
lost their lives.
The tree, underpinned by strong roots, represents the
continuity of life reflecting the way the
community of Lockerbie and families of those who
died have striven to overcome this tragedy.
The quilt was made as a remembrance of the twentieth
anniversary of the disaster.
The quilt was designed and made by Kate Henderson, Elma Graham,
Ena McKay, Barbara Watts and Margaret Stockdale, members of
Solway Quilters for Dryfesdale Lodge Visitors’ Centre Trust.

The above poster and postcards of the quilt are available for sale at the Visitors’ Centre.
