The mood and the weather were sombre at the Boyle Cross as Frome's Ukrainian community gathered for a vigil to mark the second anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome Hub Facilitator Iryna Ladyzhenska said: "The Ukrainian community gathered near the fountain on the Boyle Cross to mark two sad anniversaries.

"February 20th 2024 is the 10th anniversary of the war in Ukraine, launched by the Russian Federation. February 24th is the second anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

"Unfortunately, the war is on and there is no sign of it being finished in the foreseeable future. Our county needs support of the democratic countries in our fight against tyranny and aggression."
