Vigil for victims of the Nepal earthquake

A vigil will be held in Ashford tonight to pay respects to the victims of the Nepal earthquake disaster.

The event has been organised by hospital worker Kamala Gurung, from the town, and will take place in Victoria Park, off Jemmett Road, at 6pm.

Members of the Nepalese community will gather at the park to light candles and pray for those who have died, been injured or affected by the catastrophic earthquake.
