A tree has been planted in Halesworth as part of the UK-wide Covid-19 Day of Reflection, honouring those who lost their lives during the pandemic.
The olive tree was planted outside the Volunteers Office at the Patrick Stead Day Care Centre and was sponsored by Halesworth Town Council. The tree has been chosen as a symbol of peace and remembrance.
The ceremony yesterday (Sunday 8th March) brought members of the community together to reflect on the impact Covid-19 had locally and to remember loved ones who were lost.
Reverend Dominic Doble said a few words during the event, reflecting on how the pandemic affected people across the community and recognising the way residents supported and protected older and vulnerable neighbours during that time.
The tree will now stand as a lasting tribute and a place for quiet reflection for those in the town.
The Day of Reflection is held across the UK to commemorate lives lost during the pandemic and recognise the ongoing impact it has had on communities.
