Leaders expressed their solidarity and support for the Ukrainian people during this challenging time, showcasing community unity and resilience.
Cllr Adam Hug emphasized, 'The gathering at the Ukrainian church was a clear demonstration of the ongoing support for the Ukrainian people and a symbol of unity.'
Lord Mayor Cllr Robert Rigby noted the diverse communities in Westminster, stating, 'This prayer vigil brought so many together in solidarity for the victims of war.'
