The bench - situated outside St John the Baptist Church in Royston - was donated by Royston-founded charity Help 4 Homeless Veterans.
Mayor Coun Caroline Makinson unveiled the bench alongside Fr Craig Tomlinson and Tom Wood and Steve Bentham-Bates of the charity.
She told the Chronicle: “It’s in a fitting place as it’s a focal point of the village. We hope many people will come here to pay their respects.”

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
