Ipswich pays respects

Published3rd July 2015

The bustling Cornhill in Ipswich town centre fell silent today as noon approached and people paid their respects to those who were killed in the Tunisian beach massacre.

Market stall-holders and their customers were among those who stopped work and shopping to observe the UK-wide minute’s silence.

Deputy Mayor Bill Quinton made a short speech before a whistle marked the beginning and end of the silence. Mayor Glen Chisolm led the silence at Ipswich School, where he was special guest at the open day and prize-giving.
