On Saturday 8th November 2014 at 4.30pm as the warm sun over Kyrenia prepared to settle in the west, part of the road outside this old cemetery had been closed and chairs were placed in the road so that the many people who had gathered could take part in the ceremony of the unveiling of the memorial to the British Cyprus Police.
The ceremony started with the parading by standard bearers of the National Standard into the cemetery followed by the Royal British Legion Kyrenia Branch, Metropolitan Police, and Cyprus Police where they were presented in front of the Cyprus Memorial commemorating the 371 British Servicemen who also lost their lives serving their country but until this day also received no official recognition for their service and loss.
At last those 62 brave policemen who served their countries and lost their lives following the start of the Cyprus Emergency, when EOKA created mayhem, in the 1950s have been remembered.
