Community members joined hands at a memorial service in honour of the victims of last month's Peshawar School massacre.

Harrow Councillors and Harrow Interfaith Council members observed a minute's silence at the memorial service at the Council Chamber in Harrow Civic Centre on Wednesday evening.

There were readings and photo slideshows and people recounted personal experiences and sang songs as the group remembered the 153 killed in a shooting at Peshwar’s Army Public School in Pakistan on December 16.

Cllr David Perry said: "This memorial was not about politics but the murder of innocents before Christmas in 2014.

"These events ripple across the world and especially in Harrow, which is ethnically and religiously so diverse.

“The huge loss has been keenly felt.”
