Peace Day was unanimously adopted by United Nations member states in 2001 to be the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, taking place each year on September 21.

Mr Duggan said: “The day is for people for a moment or five minutes to meditate on peace.

“It’s something to project towards with what is going on on our planet,” he added.
