UK AIDS Quilt 019
This is Quilt 019 of 042 in the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt collection, created during the late 1980's and early 1990's before there was effective treatment for people living with HIV.
The AIDS Quilt Memorial Project
This collection is created in memory of loved ones, friends and family. For some people our archive contains a great deal of information about their lives, for others we hold little, or none.

Simon Anderson
The flowers on this quilt are from one of Simon's ties, and the velvet once wrapped the urn containing his ashes.
Listen to the tribute from Simon's friend Kirsten.
Simon touched my heart and made it dance with joy, with life, with love
He lives on in that dancing heart, he always will
