We are all feeling helpless and horrified at this terrible time, while innocent people in Ukraine are suffering.
Our thoughts right now are with all our readers who may have family or friends in Ukraine, and will be desperately concerned for their safety. We stand together and pray this situation is drawn to a swift end so that the people of Ukraine can live in peace and freedom.

Did you see Henry VIII in Bishop's Waltham?
Henry VIII and his entourage paraded through the High Street on Saturday 26th February to mark the end of the first 'Where's Henry?' trail for children. Over 150 children took part in the trail between 21-25th February, spotting models of Henry VIII in shop windows and answering questions at each location.
Three winners were drawn from the correct entries, with the prize being entry tickets for their families to one of the the Tudor Experience days in July. A second trail is taking place in April with new questions, so if you didn't win this time, have another go!
For lots more photos of the parade, details of the next trail and more information about planned events to commemorate this historic occasion, please visit www.henry500years.co.uk and follow on Facebook at www.facebook.com/henry500years
