A memorial service commemorating Krystyna Skarbek's life and wartime service was held at St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London.
On 17 May 2013, over sixty years after her death, a memorial service was held at the historic church of St Martin-in-the-Fields in central London to commemorate the life, courage, and wartime contributions of Krystyna Skarbek.
The service was attended by representatives of both the Polish and British governments and communities, reflecting Skarbek's dual heritage and her service to both nations during the Second World War. Notably, her biographer Clare Mulley, author of The Spy Who Loved: The Secrets and Lives of Christine Granville, participated in the commemoration, having played a significant role in reviving public awareness of Skarbek's extraordinary story through her 2012 biography.
This memorial reflected a broader movement in the early 21st century to recognize the previously under-acknowledged contributions of female secret agents during World War II, many of whose stories had been overshadowed or forgotten in the postwar decades. The event helped cement Skarbek's legacy in British and Polish historical memory, ensuring that her role as one of the war's most daring and longest-serving intelligence operatives would not be lost to history, decades after her tragic and premature death.
