Ledbury's iconic Market House is being lit up yellow and blue every night for a week in a show of solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

The colours of the Ukrainian flag were projected onto the building for the first time on Tuesday evening. The Market House joins other prominent buildings in the area including Worcester's Guildhall and Hereford Town Hall that have been lit up yellow and blue.

Phillip Howells, Ledbury's deputy mayor, said: "We all agree it is a great way of showing our support for the people of Ukraine by the people of Ledbury."

He said that as well as sourcing a projector, town council staff had ordered a Ukrainian flag and blue and yellow flowers to be planted around the war memorial.

The Market House has already been at the centre of Ledbury's efforts to support those affected by the conflict in Ukraine.

The building has been used to store boxes of donations collected by Ledbury residents and ready to be shipped over to refugees.

But volunteers are looking for somewhere more accessible to sort and box up donations as items continue to pour in.
