Belfast marked Yom Hashoah with a March of Life by more than 200 people through the city streets.

Key organiser Mike McNally said the idea was "to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Jewish community to commemorate the Shoah, remembering those who perished and paying tribute to the survivors. As friends of the Jewish people, we are humbled and thankful for the spirit of survival against all odds that is expressed by those who lived through the Shoah." Lena Kinder, a German exchange student studying in Dublin, read out names of Ireland's Holocaust survivors.

Later on, a memorial event was held at Belfast Castle for 100 Jews and Christians. Belfast's Rabbi David Singer was among the speakers.
