The Plaque that has gone missing from Soho

The original Soho Bomb memorial plaque has gone missing according to Mark Healey, the founder of the anti-hate campaign 17-24-30.org, from its position in St. Anne's Gardens in Soho, London.

The memorial remembers the three victims who lost their lives in the blast which ripped through the popular Soho pub, the Admiral Duncan in April 1999, killing Andrea Dykes, John Light and Nick Moore.

The nail bomb was the 3rd of three attacks planned and orchestrated by David Copeland. He planted the other two bombs in Brixton (17th April 1999) and Brick Lane (24th April 1999).

He is currently serving six concurrent life sentences and in 2007 the High Court ruled that he must serve 50 years.

In a statement from 17-24-30 the organisers of the Act Of Remembrance which is to take place on the 30th April have said that, '17-24-30 have agreed to help cover the costs so that it can be ordered straight away and hopefully in place ready for the service on Tuesday 30th April - marking the 14th anniversary of the attacks.'

The new plaque will cost £260 and it is hoped that it will be delivered and installed before Tuesday's service.
