 People prepare for the vigil, taping posters with photographs of those who died because of borders to the pavement

 in fron t of the Home Office.

 

 The main banner 'God's Love Knows No Borders'

 'Stop Violence Against Refugees - No Human is Illegal!'

 'UK, Create Safe And Legal Passage for Refugees'

 Mel, one of the Stansted15 holds a poster above her head

 

 Mel speaks at the event

 

 

 

 Laura from London Catholic Worker

 

 

 

 

 Peole gather for a photograph

 

 and then the vigil begins with the reading of the names of people who died beacuse of borders - each person

 

 reads a few and then passes the book with the list of names on to another person to read

 People had been asked to wear red if they could and quite a few did

 

 Somew had pink scarves

 

 

 

 

 I handed the list on to the woman beside me when I had read some names and my voice was breaking up

 'Euripe's Borders Kill Refugees Fleeing War and Brutal Dictatorships In Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Eritrea...,
