SINCE hosting the Street Choirs Festival in Aberystwyth in 2013 under the banner of peace, Côr Gobaith has wanted to plant a white cherry peace tree in the town.

A tree has now been planted at Queen’s Square, opposite the old town hall.

The tree marks the ongoing commitment of diverse groups in the community to working towards non-violence and peace in the world.

Pictured with members of Côr Gobaith and guests are Joy Harris of Côr Gobaith; Mike Fincken, Captain of the Rainbow Warrior; Jon Hadlow, grounds maintenance manager for Ceredigion County Council; Brendan Somers, Aberystwyth deputy mayor; Cllr Alun Williams; Ellen ap Gwynn, leader of Ceredigion County Council; and Elin Jones AM
