Llan marks Peace One Day


* The bandstand gathering for Peace One Day.

People gathered at the bandstand in Riverside Park, Llangollen, on Friday lunchtime to celebrate 2012 World Peace Day.

Over the last 10 years, Peace Day has been proved as an opportunity for life-saving activities and action by individuals worldwide.

This year Peace One Day is calling for and working towards a day of ceasefire and non-violence - the Global Truce 2012 campaign.

A spokesman for the campaign said: "We hope that this will be the largest global reduction of violence ever recorded on one day – and the largest ever gathering of individuals in the name of peace."

In Llan, a number of people addressed those who turned up on the theme of peace and the event was brought to a close by the vicar of St Collen's, the Rev Andrew Sully.
