Prince Charles and Camilla joined a host of public figures in lighting a commemorative candle to mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2021 on Wednesday.
People across the UK are being asked to light a candle and put it in their window at 8pm with landmarks such as Wembley Stadium, Cardiff Castle and the London Eye bathed in purple.
“As I speak, the last generation of living witnesses is tragically passing from this world,” the Prince of Wales said in a video message broadcast earlier today.
“So the task of bearing witness falls to us. That is why the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust of which I am so proud to be patron has this year chosen the theme, Be the Light in the Darkness.
