The Late Show with Cai Sherlock

10:00pm - Midnight

A ‘peace vigil’ attended by hundreds has been held in York Minster to mark two years since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Prayers and readings led by York Minster’s Canon Maggie McLean were part of yesterday’s event (February 24).

Traditional songs were performed by the York Ukraine Together choir and singer Yulia Kirienko, who performed as she did at last year's vigil at the Minster.

Among those attending were refugees from the conflict who have settled in the city.

Maryna Rudeshko was one of many who attended and wore traditional Ukrainian clothing.
