A large piece of pre-Cambrian granite mounted on three smaller stones.
This stone was erected by the Royal Norwegian Navy and the Norwegian Merchant Fleet in 1978.
On the North facing aspect the inscription reads.
"This boulder was brought here from Norway where it was worn and shaped for thousands of years by forces of nature, frost, running water, rock, sand and ice until it obtained its present shape."
A fitting tribute and a lovely setting for this historical landmark.
The inscription on this stone reads
"THIS STONE WAS ERECTED BY THE ROYAL NORWEGIAN NAVY
AND THE NORWEGIAN MERCHANT FLEET IN THE YEAR 1978
WE THANK THE BRITISH PEOPLE FOR FRIENDSHIP
AND HOSPITALITY DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
YOU GAVE US A SAFE HAVEN IN OUR COMMON STRUGGLE
FOR FREEDOM AND PEACE"
Was wandering through Hyde Park when I saw this giant boulder. This memorial was a gift from The Norwegian Navy and Merchant Fleet in gratitude for British support during the Second World War.
The front of the memorial is inscribed the words: "You gave us a safe haven in our common struggle for freedom and peace". The back reads: "Worked and shaped by forces of nature for thousands of years".
This giant rock is easy to miss.
The Norwegian Navy and Merchant Fleet presented this large granite boulder in 1978 as thanks for British support during World War 2.
The memorial consists of a boulder of pre-Cambrian granite, mounted on three smaller stones. The front is engraved: "You gave us a safe haven in our common struggle for freedom and peace". The back reads: "Worked and shaped by forces of nature for thousands of years".
The Norwegian War Memorial can be found in the Cockpit along Serpentine Road, opposite the West Boat House.
Very nice place and good we are united and give respect for all very nice park
