The Spire commands stunning views across Lincoln, with a focus on the City’s ancient Cathedral, which served as a sighting point for crews flying from Lincolnshire. For many of the men named on the accompanying walls, the Cathedral provided their last sight of Britain.

It is now recognised as the UK’s tallest war memorial.

“I just wanted to pass on my thanks and appreciation to Liz, our tour guide, for a fabulous and very informative tour this afternoon. The weather was great too, which was an added bonus.

Our team were really blown away by the site and we didn’t stop talking about it over lunch afterwards.”
