Leicester Ukrainians celebrate Vyshyvanka

Leicester Ukrainians have been celebrating Vyshyvanka, also known as Ukrainian Embroidery Day.

Vyshyvanka is a type of traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt that is often decorated with intricate patterns and designs that hold symbolic meaning.

These shirts have been worn by Ukrainians for centuries and are a source of pride and identity for many.

In Ukraine the day is a national holiday, so Matt Smith went to meet a group celebrating in the city.
