I've been amazed at the support that many people have shown for Ukraine. Some of the shops in York city centre have provided displays large and small, and the Shambles in particular has really excelled.
Three of these images were taken in the Shambles - the sweet shop window, the gargoyle draped with the Ukraine flag and the flags across the street. The fourth image of the dancers was taken in Micklegate, at the Fancy Dance Shop.
The Disasters Emergency Committee launced a fund raising appeal yesterday and has already raised £55 million in its first 24 hours. What an impressive display of support!
Love to see so much support for Ukraine. Some days ago I was part of a protest in front of the Russian Embassy. Many had thought that something like this would never happen.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
The reaction to the invasion of Ukraine has been quite surprising in it's intensity, and these window displays have been a small part of that. Hopefully a solution to the war can be found quickly, before more people are killed or injured or displaced. War is such a terrible thing, but we seem incapable of learnng that lesson.

You are right Vesna. One evil man can cause so much pain and suffering.
