A SPECIAL service has taken place outside a Dunbar church to pray for peace across the world.

Members of Dunbar churches held a vigil service to remember the use of nuclear weapons at Hiroshima and Nagasaki 77 years ago, and to work for nuclear disarmament and an end to war, including in Ukraine.

Prayers were led by the Rev Diana Hall, Rector of Dunbar’s St Anne’s Scottish Episcopal & Methodist Church. The service took place at the peace pole in the grounds of St Anne’s.

Prayers were also said for the work of the 10th review conference of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty currently taking place.
