Below them sits the Gryphon, silent, unmoving whilst his one true love leans over, tying her scarf around his arm, a token of her love to remind him that through the trials of war, he is ever in her heart and her spirit rides with him.

Her knight in shining armour on his fine white steed gazes into her eyes, for with her by his side he will fear nothing.

The fine gold threads, like the golden tresses of her hair cascading far down her slender back, glitter in the sunlight.

“God Speed, My Love, God Speed.”

(Painting: Edmund Blair Leighton 1900)
