On the 19th May, Barbara and Nick, the children of Sir Nicholas Winton, held a commemorative memorial at London's Guildhall, to celebrate the life of their father. The memorial was attended by many prominent guests. The Czech Republic was represented by Ambassador Libor Sečka, Minister for Human Rights, Equal Opportunities and Legislation Jiří Dienstbier, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Karel Schwarzenberg and Director of the Department of Protocol at the Office of the President Jindřich Forejt. Director of Václav Havel Library in Prague Michael Žantovský was also attending, he was one of the speakers. The memorial joined British Home Secretary Theresa May too, who personally knew Sir N. Winton.

On the 20th May, the Czech and Slovak Embassies in London co-organised a luncheon for the rescued children who arrived from around the world to pay tribute to their rescuer. Many of these encounters were very moving.

In the evening of the 20th May there was a memorial concert for Sir Nicholas Winton, in the church of St. John's, Smith Square. The proceeds from the concert will go to help child refugees.
