PRAYERS were held in Salisbury Cathedral’s Trinity Chapel last week to mark the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Reverend Anna Bishop from Salisbury Methodist Church and Canon Nigel Davies, Salisbury Cathedral’s Vicar of the Close, led the short service on Friday, February 24, at which prayers for peace and justice for Ukraine were said.

Candles in the colours of the Ukrainian flag were placed on the chapel altar, which stand beneath the Cathedral’s Prisoners of Conscience window, to "reminds us both of the suffering of those who are caught up in the war and to offer hope".
