File:Reconciliation By Vasconcellos, Coventry.jpg
The text on the pedestal is in English and in Japanese. The English text reads:

In 1995, 50 years after the end of the Second World War this sculpture by Josefina de Vasconcellos has been given by Richard Branson as a token of reconciliation.
An identical sculpture has been placed on behalf of the people of Coventry in Peace Garden, Hiroshima, Japan.

There are still other copies of the sculpture on the doorstep of both sides of the English Channel and also in Brussels, headquarters of the European Union.

All statues remind us that in the face of destructive forces, human dignity and love will triumph over disaster and bring nations together in respect and peace.
