British Jewish organisations are gathering in central London on Wednesday for a vigil honouring victims of the 7 October attacks in Israel, marking three years since the assault.
The vigil is expected to take place at 5pm at Richmond Terrace, opposite Downing Street, organisers said. It follows a day of tributes from UK politicians and community leaders marking the anniversary.
The gathering is one of a number of commemorative events held across the UK and internationally this week to mark the anniversary of the attacks, which killed approximately 1,200 people in Israel according to Israeli authorities and triggered the subsequent war in Gaza.
British Jewish community organisations have held similar commemorative events in previous years, often drawing attendance from political figures alongside community members. Organisers of Wednesday's vigil have framed the event as a moment of remembrance for those killed in the attacks.
Further details on speakers or attendance at the vigil had not been released ahead of the event.
