In pictures: Moira community unites for vigil following tragic death of baby Frank Michael McIlduff

The one-year-old baby boy from Lurgan died at the scene of the incident involving a lorry at Meeting Street. His grandmother was seriously injured.

The candlelit vigil was organised so people could unite in support those affected by the tragedy and the wider community.

Moira Community Association facilitated the event, inviting ‘people of all faiths, religions, non-faiths, and spiritualities’.

Local clergy and public representatives were among those who gathered in the rain in the centre of the village.

Bringing the vigil to a close, Alderman Owen Gawith, chair of the community association, described the turnout as “marvellous” and thanked everyone who came along to show their support for the little boy’s family, and also to those who had led the event.

"We hope and trust your presence here will have been of some small comfort to the family and to everyone involved in the tragedy,” he said.

Ald Gawith also thanked everyone who has donated to the fundraiser organised by the community association to help the family.

This is open until 12 midnight on Saturday, March 18. Anyone who wishes to make a donation can find the link here.

"We know some of you have been extraordinarily generous already,” he said.

Meanwhile, Poole’s Supervalu in Moira has organised a charity raffle to raise funds for Air Ambulance NI following the tragedy. Giant Lindt bunny and bear teddies are the first and second prizes and the winning tickets will be drawn on Friday, March 24.
