The final bag of ‘Sacred Soil’ was brought back to the UK on 8 October 2014 by Cunard Flagship Queen Mary 2. The soil was the last of 70 bags gathered from First World War cemeteries in Belgium to create a Flanders Field Memorial Garden at The Guards Museum at Wellington Barracks in London. The final bag of soil was gathered at the Ypres Cemetery and was presented to Captain Kevin Oprey by the iconic Menin Gate war memorial on Sunday 5 October while the ship was berthed at Zeebrugge. Guests had the chance to view the sandbag, which was placed on prominent display in the Grand Lobby as it made its way back to the UK.
