Murder Most Unladylike and ‘Memorials of the Future’

Westminster-Abbey-Nishka-Memorials-of-the-Future

Hello Detectives,

I’ve got a lot of updates coming your way soon – but for now, please enjoy this fun mention of me and Murder Most Unladylike that I came across today.

Westminster Abbey in London (a place where many famous British people are given memorials after they die) asked some KS2 pupils to nominate people they think should have a memorial there in future. Obviously this isn’t binding, and obviously it doesn’t mean any of the people nominated are going to die any time soon – but I was very honoured to see that Nishka chose me to be memorialised!

‘Memorials of the Future’ is a really great idea for a project – I love thinking about who we choose to remember, and why, and I’m always fascinated to see lists like this!
