This article appears in today's Leicester Mercury:
Hiroshima is remembered
Campaigners for nuclear disarmament will be marking the anniversary of the first atomic bomb with a vigil in the city centre.
Members of Leicester CND will gather by the Clock Tower at 8am on Monday to remember the victims of the Hiroshima attack in August 1945.
A woman dressed in a Japanese kimono will die a symbolic death at 8.15am, the exact time when the bomb was dropped 67 years ago to the day.
Later in the morning, the group will be joined by city mayor Sir Peter Soulsby who, from 9.30am, will be talking to passers by and handing out leaflets.
