Schoolchildren will be remembering those who lost their lives as Croydon marks Holocaust Memorial Day.

A service of remembrance will be held at the council chamber in the Town Hall from 1pm tomorrow (Thursday) which will include Jewish songs, poems and readings.

The theme of the event is Survivors, Liberation and Rebuilding Lives and the day will also reflect on more recent atrocities like those in Rwanda and Cambodia.

The choir from Park Hill Junior School and musicians from St Andrew's School will be among the performers.
