    Support for Czechs living in Brexit Britain may have been the main reason
    for Foreign Minister Tomáš Petříček’s visit to the UK on Friday.
    However, he chose to begin the day by honouring the fallen heroes who
    fought side by side with the British in the Second World War. Under the
    title “Never Forgotten”, their sacrifice is being remembered through a
    series of commemorations organised by the Czech Embassy in London this
    year.
