The service included local people telling the stories of the six million victims of the Holocaust from and the more recent genocides in Cambodia, Serbia, and Rwanda.
The Vice Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, Alexander Boswell, joined the service at which the Mayor gave a moving speech after which there was a pause for silence to reflect. He said: It's sobering to think that if we had a minute's silence for every Jew murdered we would have had to be silent for 11 and a half years."
