A day of remembrance will take place to honour those murdered in the Holocaust and subsequent genocides.
Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27 January every year because it marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.
On this day we will remember the millions of people murdered in the Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution, and in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

Two sisters who have had a passion to own and run their own coffee shop have made their dream come true.
Nina and Kate, with help from their dad, have refurbished an old building in Langwith Junction and transformed it into their own business called the Tiki Coffee Shop.
The sisters want to create a welcoming vibe with home cooked food and want the coffee shop to be the hub of the community.
We met up with Nina and Kate and asked them why they have called it such an unusual name and what their customers can expect when they walk through the door.

Council tenants in the tiny hamlet of Whaley Common are feeling much warmer after the Council installed a greener heating system.
A resident approached the authority in 2022 stating they were struggling with their energy bills and asked what could be done about it.
With no means of installing gas to the properties, Council officers decided that an Air Source Heat System would be the best solution, offering a greener energy source and a reduction in heating bills.
We went to see Mrs Walters who told us how much better the new heating system is.

The sound of leather on willow is one of those quintessential English things that are associated with summer.
But for Langwith Cricket Club that may be something they will not be hearing this year, unless they receive some help.
They have been experiencing huge problems with the ‘grub of the cock chaffer beetle’ on their outfield, which is causing extensive damage.
The Chafer grubs live underground in the soil, where they eat plant roots and they can become a major problem – especially in lawns or grassed areas, like cricket fields.
On top of this, birds have been foraging for the grubs and causing even more damage, resulting in a prospective bill of around forty thousand pounds to repair the pitch.
And as this is a job only professionals can undertake, the club are asking for help from the public or firms who have the experience to deal with the problem.
