'This is to show that there is unity in parts of the city where there is still a bit of mistrust and animosity. It will show that there actually are people who are moving forward and have hope for the future'
A 'human peacewall' event at a Belfast interface is set to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.
Speaking ahead of the event, Pastor Johnny McKee said that he hopes people can come together to mark this significant event, no matter their opinion on the agreement."Over the last few weeks New Life City Church have been doing what we call a Cross Vigil between the gates where the church building is at Northumberland Street," he said.
Pastor McKee said that the event will involve people coming together from both sides of the community to join arms in a sign of solidarity. Robert McClenaghan from the Falls Residents Association said that this event marks a continuation in the development of good relations between the two communities.
