Vigils held in Eccles for Alan Henning
More than a hundred people have vigils in Eccles for Alan Henning.
The taxi driver, from Salford, was kidnapped by Islamic State militants last December, as he delivered aid in Syria. Locals turned out to light candles and gathered for a special service at Eccles Town Hall, where they prayed for his safe release.
Co-ordinator Irena Pistun said people in Eccles were "shocked" and "concerned" for Mr Henning's family since his capture.
