Thousands of people around the world have taken part in Darkness Into Light events from early this morning.
The event, now in its 10th year, was set up by Pieta House with the aim of raising suicide awareness as well as vital funds for the counselling services for people bereaved by suicide or with suicidal thoughts.

Me and my mum walking today for me - who found the light in the dark - and for my brother - who 16 years ago next month - did not.#DIL2018#DarknessIntoLight pic.twitter.com/SrAjiJK614

Walked #DIL2018 with my sis @roemcdermott in beautiful Bray this morning. First time together. I think public awareness, empathy & ability to mobilise in support of each other has never been higher. The government has to play it's part now, been negligent for too long. Onwards x pic.twitter.com/udZOIARYvd

Strangers lit our Way.
Smiles from the Sidelines.
We Woke up and Walked.
For those we loved and Lost.
For those who can no longer Walk.
We turned and faced the Sun.
And Darkest Dusk turned to Dawn. #DIL2018 #dil2018 . @PietaHouse @bray_ie @dil_bray pic.twitter.com/P0Dj1EOG5O
