EMOTIONAL pictures show the town coming together in support of Ukraine.
More than a week after the sovereign nation was invaded by warmonger Vladimir Putin's Russian military, around 300 people came together for a candlelit peace vigil outside Reading town hall.
Pictures show residents holding Ukraine flags aloft in solidarity with the eastern-European country.

Organised by the Reading Ukrainian Community Centre, the vigil featured speeches from town Mayor Rachel Eden and Reading East MP Matt Rodda.
Many that attended were given stickers with links on how to help Ukrainians.
A donation collection event is taking place today at the Reading Ukrainian Community Centre on Sidmouth Street until 3pm.
