Survivors and family and friends of victims gathered on a chilly London evening to remember the 28 Britons killed by the Bali bombs two years ago but the rest of the nation seemed to have forgotten the atrocity.
The second anniversary of the bombs, which claimed 202 lives in Kuta, did not rate a paragraph in any of Britain's national newspapers or a mention on television news.
But around 200 members of the tight-knit UK Bali Bombing Victims Group met in an atmosphere of friendly reunion on the deck of HMS Belfast on the River Thames for a moving ceremony which steered away from the church services of the past.
"Everyone knows each other well, we've all formed this community, everybody gives each other a lot of support," said Susanna Miller, whose brother Dan was killed by the bombs while his wife Polly spent nine weeks in a Brisbane hospital being treated for burns.
"Everybody's glad that at least here with us tonight people remember Bali. Although it is often seen as just an Australian tragedy, 57 Europeans were killed, 28 British, at least here we know everyone understands.
"I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves. Not the least, it has a lot of very, very current issues. Obviously, terrorism and the threat from militant Islamic groups is still very strong.
"I think the [British] media aren't interested. The media don't seem interested in longer-term stories and what's happening to the families over time and that's a great frustration." But the 28 British families have not just wallowed in their own grief.
The UK Bali Bombing Victims Group does not just help each other, it has raised over STG600,000 ($A1.47 million) in the past two years for various charities including Balinese orphans and a burns victims charity set up by Polly Miller.
"We didn't want a completely miserable memorial service again, we wanted to showcase the charities, we wanted to celebrate the fact we've raised more than STG600,000," Susanna Miller said.
The main charity highlighted was the Daniel Braden Reconciliation Trust – established by the family of a British victim – which organises trips on tall ships for youth from diverse backgrounds to encourage racial and religious tolerance.
Moored alongside the Belfast was one ship which sailed up the Thames crewed by six Israeli Jews, one Israeli Arab, five Palestinians, nine Indonesian Muslims, nine British Muslims, five Americans and 13 British Christians.
Jocelyn Waller, whose son Ed was killed in Bali, gave a speech in which he criticised the British government for failing to upgrade its travel warning at the time, followed by some brief prayers.
Fireman Russell Ward tossed a wreath of 28 white lilies against the biting wind and drizzle into the Thames near Tower Bridge as a saxophone lament rang out from the HMS Belfast.
When Ward, who volunteered while on holiday in Bali to work tirelessly to help victims, including Australian Jodie Cearns, threw the wreath, family members hugged and people who were strangers two years ago embraced and comforted each other in their united grief.
Waller then invited everyone in out of the cold to drink and eat and just "to be together, which is why we are here".
