The Independence Day of Ukraine was celebrated with a colourful event on Wednesday (August 24) at Northampton’s Delapré Abbey.
From 4pm until 8pm, there was a fair, children’s concert, a photo zone and entertainment for children and adults.
The day was kicked off by a speech from Mayor of Northampton Dennis Meredith. The national flag was also unfurled and there was a “solemn” performance of the national anthem, as well as a joint prayer for the country.
Organisers welcomed everyone and served Ukrainian food, drinks and snacks throughout the event.
