A walk in memory of Derry girl Ruby Lynch will be held this weekend.
The seven-year-old, who had Down's syndrome, died two-and-a-half years ago leaving her family and friends heartbroken.
The Foyle Down Syndrome Trust (FDST) has organised a walk to take place at Ebrington Square on Saturday, March 26, at 10.30am.

The walk will begin in the square before making its way over the Peace Bridge, down the quay, under the Craigavon Bridge towards the train station and then back towards Ebrington.
The annual walk takes place every year during World Down Syndrome Week but had been forced online in 2020, while last year's restrictions meant that the public did the walk in their own time at a social distance from others.
Christopher Cooper, manager of FDST, told MyDerry that they were looking forward to getting back to normal this week, while also hoping to raise as much money as possible.
He said: "The last two years have been very difficult and challenging. They just haven't been the same.
"We are just very much looking forward to be able to bring our families and friends along this Saturday to be able to walk in Ruby's memory and we would encourage others to come out and do the same.
"The more the merrier because we want to be able to celebrate Ruby's life with her own family this year.
"We will have t-shirts, bottles of water and fruit to support people on the day and getting people out in their numbers is what this event is all about."
He added: "These are always difficult times for her parents and the more people that can come out and show their support really means a lot to them.
"The positivity and the feedback that we have gotten over the years have proved that they are there for Ruby."
The public will be able to donate on the day, but Christopher said that the public could donate online as well.
"There is a bit of both in terms of donations," Christopher said. "There are QR codes that we have put about the place and they're on social media and all people have to do is scan those and it will take you to the donation page.
"But we will have collection buckets and sponsor forms for people if they want to do it that way as well."
