Grave moment ... The Justice for Magdalenes lay flowers in Dublin

Tribute ... Cillian Urroz

Tears ... in Galway

MOVING remembrance vigils in both Galway and Dublin for the women of the Magdalene laundries leave many of their participants teary-eyed yesterday.

There were emotional moments in Galway as a solemn group gathered at the memorial statue on Forster Street.

And young Cillian Urroz, five, leans in with a tribute candle.

Meanwhile in Dublin, the Justice for Magdalenes hosted the second annual ‘Flowers for Magdalenes’ — laying flowers on each grave at Glasnevin Cemetery, where many Magdalene women are buried.
