Anti-Hate Crime Vigil

On 30th October 2009, Norwich joined with London and cities around the world in a candle-lit vigil for the victims of hate crimes. We assembled outside the Forum to light candles and join a two-minute silence. The main vigil, organised by charity 17-24-30 and hosted by Sandi Toksvig, took place in Trafalgar Square, where on September 25, 62-year-old Ian Baynham was the victim of a homophobic attack, suffering injuries from which he later died.
