HIV Candlelit Vigil - Mon 27

Every minute of every day six more people become infected by HIV.

The HIV Candlelit Vigil was the closing event of Manchester Pride 2007. A packed Sackville Park took a minute to remember the people we have lost to the virus.

With a variety of readings, poems and music based around the theme of remembrance, the Vigil is the spiritual heart of the Manchester Pride weekend and there was a truly magical and moving atmosphere as Sackville Park stood in quiet reflection in the flickering candlelight.

Manchester Pride would like to thank the George House Trust, without whom the candlelit vigil would not have been possible.
