CAMPAIGNERS flocked to Old Market Square to show their support for the 200 girls kidnapped in Nigeria.
Yesterday evening's vigil involved dozens wearing red in support of the missing Chibok school girls. They were taken by Islamist militant group Boko Haram in the Borno state of Nigeria more than three weeks ago. The group has threatened to "sell" the girls.
In Nottingham, campaigners gathered from 5.30pm, dressed in red in support of the #Bringbackourgirls movement.
Student Sian Steans, 26, of Radford, said: "It's nice that so many people care. Nottingham has a big Nigerian community and the University of Nottingham has lots of Nigerian students. Even if you haven't got a link to the country, everyone can appreciate the need for education."
Sonia Long, of black women's group Sojourner's Sisters, said: "I'm passionate about education and it's been cruelly stripped from these girls. I'm pleased with the turnout and Nottingham is showing its support for the worldwide campaign."
