People taking part in a ceremony at Clifford’s Tower, York, marking Hannukah, the Jewish festival of lights. In 1190 the tower was scene of one of the worst anti-Semitic massacres of the Middle Ages when 150 Jews died after it was besieged and burnt down by locals. Many chose to take their own lives rather than be murdered or forcibly baptised by the attackers. Sunday evening’s Hannukah event is thought to be the first Jewish ceremony held at the tower since the tragedy. A further commemoration marking the end of the festival takes place outside the tower on 26 December.
