THERE was a show of solidarity today (Wednesday) in Liskeard as the Town Council raised the Ukrainian flag alongside the Union flag above the Public Hall.

Mayor of Liskeard Councillor Simon Cassidy said: “We are all horrified by the situation that has developed in Ukraine and as a council we affirm our belief in the cause of freedom.

"We fly the Ukrainian flag to demonstrate our solidarity with the Ukrainian people in this difficult time.

"On behalf of the people of Liskeard, we are honoured to fly their flag, and we stand alongside them, offering our thoughts and prayers for this tragic violence to end.”
