The Unknown Soldier in Westminster Abbey is a symbolic grave that honors the unidentified soldiers who died in World War I. Buried in 1920, his remains were selected from four unidentified bodies found on the battlefields of France and Belgium. The tomb, located in the Abbey's Nave, is marked with a simple stone and serves as a poignant memorial to all service members who have lost their lives in conflict, representing the sacrifices made by countless individuals. The site has become a place of national remembrance and reflection.
