Guided tours, performances and a simple participatory ceremony to inaugurate the new garden of remembrance at Crossbones, the outcasts' burial ground.

With Nigel of Bermondsey, the south London folklorist who immortalised Crossbones in song, violin virtuoso and street opera diva Kirsten Morrison, singer-autoharpist Irene Anderson and poet Ana Sefer.
