Canada Club Chairs

In 1949, the Canada Club gifted Westminster Abbey two chairs and faldstools in memory of Canadian soldiers who fell in World War II. Used by members of the Royal Family for our most important services, they are kept safe in the Shrine of St Edward the Confessor.

This film was created as part of a pilot project, Commonwealth Connections: Canada, in which Canadian schools can learn more about the connections between Canada, the Commonwealth and Westminster Abbey. Find out more: https://www.westminster-abbey.org/learning/schools/commonwealth-connections
