Friends and volunteers gathered on Sunday at Kyiv’s St Sophia’s Cathedral to say goodbye to Andrew Bagshaw, a dual New Zealand-British citizen who was killed in Ukraine while he and another volunteer who also died tried to evacuate people from a front-line town.

Mr Bagshaw, 47, and British volunteer Christopher Parry, 28, went missing this month while heading to the town of Soledar, in the eastern Donetsk region, where heavy fighting was taking place.
