Landmarks in Kent have been lit up yellow and blue as they show their support for Ukraine as the crisis continues.

In Margate, the Turner Contemporary has projected the country's flag on the side of the iconic building.

Sharing the image on Instagram last night, the art gallery said: "In light of the unfolding events in Ukraine, tonight, Turner Contemporary, Margate is illuminating the gallery in the colours of the country’s flag."

It then listed charitable ways people can help support those caught up in the crisis.

In Medway, the spire at Rochester Cathedral also sported the colours.⁠

On Twitter it said: "Our spire is lit in the colours of the Ukrainian flag as we pray for peace. #prayforukraine."

While Canterbury Cathedral remains unchanged, a message of support was given from Dean Robert's service in the garden yesterday morning which was broadcast on Facebook.

"Our biggest concern at the moment, right across the world, is the situation in Ukraine and our hearts are filled with grief and affection and prayer for the people of Ukraine at this time," he said.

Those in Kent join landmarks in London also showing solidarity.

The colours were beamed onto the London Eye, Nelson’s Column and the water fountains in Trafalgar Square as people gathered at nearby Downing Street to denounce Russia’s invasion of its neighbour.

President Vladimir Putin has for months denied he would invade the neighbouring country but earlier this week sent forces across borders.

A resident of Kyiv, Ukraine's capital city, described the damage as “surreal” after sharing photographs of children playing in the rubble of a decimated tower block.
