Patrons the Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt MP and His Excellency the Ambassador of Lebanon Rami Mortada, and Dr. Ghattas Khoury, the Lebanese Minister of Culture, representing the Lebanese Prime Minister, welcomed guests to the private view of Into the Light on 13 December 2018. Nearly one year following Rebecca’s senseless loss, friends, colleagues and supporters of the Foundation gathered for an evening of inspiring artwork from artists Tom Young and Ed Jonkler, heart-warming speeches from our patrons, and uplifting seasonal music from the Peace and Prosperity Trust.

We are incredibly proud of and grateful for this event. It was a beautiful tribute to Rebecca and, in the words of the Secretary of State, the care she had for people and love that she felt.

In December 2018, RDF hosted an art exhibition in memory of Rebecca Dykes and in aid of her Foundation, under the patronage of the Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt MP, and His Excellency the Ambassador of Lebanon, Rami Mortada. The exhibition took place at the Royal Opera Arcade Gallery, London, and featured works by artists Tom Young and Ed Jonkler. It celebrated Rebecca's love for Lebanon and the important stabilisation work she carried out there.
