Wembley Park has shown its solidarity with Ukraine by lighting up venues around the world famous forecourt with the blue and yellow flag.

Last Friday (February 25) the arena, stadium, Boxpark and nearby walkways projected the two tones in support against the Russian invasion.

Russia’s actions have drawn heavy local opposition, with local MPs Tulip Siddiq and Dawn Butler among those to criticise the invasion.

Ms Butler wrote: “Putin’s attack on Ukraine is unjustifiable and a breach of international law. The UK Government must immediately bring in tough sanctions on assets in the UK, and end military exports to Russia
