“At the centre of the Sanctuary is the Stone of Remembrance. This is a marble stone sunk below the pavement, so that visitors must bow their heads to read the inscription on it:

Greater Love Hath No Man

The inscription is part of a verse from the Bible (John 15:13) “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”^. The Stone is aligned with an aperture in the roof of the Sanctuary so that a ray of sunlight falls on the word ‘Love’ on the Stone of Remembrance at exactly 11 a.m. on 11 November, marking the hour and day of the Armistice which ended World War I.”
