Solidarity brought Armorel to Greenham, being in awe of the women at the camp and wanting to support them. She had been an avid CND member on the front line of activism, originally being politicised by the Cuban missile crisis, but said Greenham was like taking on a new world. She laments at how much irresponsibility there was in the world and remembers being overcome by the messages and emblems on the fence creating a type of art installation when she brought food and Embraced the Base. Armorel has always been a musician and singer and you can listen to the song, The Base, recorded with her band The Children here and explore their other political songs here.
Armorel was interviewed by Vanessa Pini in March 2021.
The wonderful photograph was supplied by Armorel.
