On April 15, 1942, at the height of World War II, a heavily bombed Malta was awarded the George Cross medal by King George VI “to honour her brave people... to bear witness to a heroism and devotion that will long be famous in history”.
Indeed, 74 years later, in the very same square where the ceremony was held, this historic event is once again being commemorated by the Malta Tourism Authority at St George’s Square, Valletta, tomorrow with a re-enactment/son et lumière, where the harrowing episodes of Malta during WWII are recounted.
• The audience must be seated by 7.15pm, show starts at 7.45 ending at 8.45pm. Admission is free.
