ORGANISERS of a walk in Lichfield promoting peace and unity say the city showed there is “no place for hate here”.

Hundreds of people joined the event which began at Speakers’ Corner with a reading of Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem The British and words of welcome in different languages.

The group then walked through the city centre to Beacon Park.

A spokesperson said:

> “We had no idea what to expect, but Lichfield’s walk for peace and unity turned out to be a wonderful, uplifting, emotional and positive happening.  
>  
> “There was a fabulous buzz of people simply chatting and walking together and youngsters happily scooting and running back and forth.  
>  
> “It was so good to be amongst so many people who have peace and unity at heart. Of course, there are huge challenges: locally, nationally and globally, but there’s a lot that we can do better.  
>  
> “We don’t have to agree on everything, but we do have to coexist – and we might as well appreciate and cooperate with each other.   
>  
> “We saw some of the best of Lichfield. There is no place for hate here.”
