As the world unites in condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, one of the North East’s most iconic landmarks will be lighting up in solidarity.
From Wednesday night St Mary’s Lighthouse in Whitley Bay will be illuminated in the national colours of Ukraine – blue and yellow.
At the same time North Tyneside Council’s Killingworth site will also be lighting up in blue and yellow in support of the people of Ukraine, whose lives have in the past week been torn apart by war.
