Shrabani Basu - Noor's Indian Biographer took on the task of raising the money from scratch - for the Memorial Bust (By Karen Newman who also sculpted the Violet Szabo Memorial), a lot of the money was raised from the Indian Community, I am pleased to say the Prime Minister supported the appeal as did several members of the House of Lords.
