A service of commemoration, remembrance and solidarity is to be held on Sunday, 11 January, at 3pm, Barker’s Pool, Sheffield City Centre following the gun attacks on the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper and at a Jewish supermarket in Paris. The event is “to reflect on the lives of those killed and injured” and has been organised with the backing of Sheffield City Council.
According to the organisers: “The event will be a time for reflection, expression and prayer; we will be taking the opportunity to talk about the importance of free speech, respect, tolerance and support, and how these precious values hold our society together.”
The Lord Mayor is due to attend together with other speakers from a variety of backgrounds, beliefs and ideals.
