Welwyn Garden City's Coronation Fountain has turned pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Now in its 19th year, the collaboration between Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council and locally-based pharmaceuticals company Roche UK remains as strong as ever in colouring the fountain in a bright display of support for the fight against breast cancer.
The Mayor of Welwyn Hatfield, Councillor Pankit Shah, and Richard Erwin, general manager of Roche, stood side by side with councillors and staff from both organisations as the mayor helped symbolically turn the water pink on Monday (October 2).
Mayor, Cllr Pankit Shah, said: “It’s wonderful to be part of this momentous event of turning the fountain pink again for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“We’ve done this for nearly 20 years, and it underlines our commitment to highlight this terrible disease, and everyone affected by it.
"I hope we can continue to do this for many more years to come."
