Hundreds of people gathered in Liverpool for a moving vigil one year into Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Liverpool Cathedral, in co-operation with Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, the Ukrainian Catholic parish in Liverpool, and the AUGB (Liverpool Branch) came together to hold a special vigil to mark one year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The vigil started on the steps of the plaza of the Metropolitan Cathedral where faith leaders spoke, sang and prayed for Ukrainians all around the world facing hardships.
A moving moment saw the Liverpool and Knotty Ash signing choir perform the Ukrainian national anthem, with people being invited onto the steps to sign with them. People wore Ukrainian flags and held signs reading "stop war! I want to go home" and "no war".
