Report: Brits in Brussels say farewell to EU at candlelit vigil outside embassy

Several dozen Brits in Brussels braved the cold and rain for a candelit vigil on New Year's Eve to mark the end of the Brexit transition period. Wearing EU-flag facemasks, the group gathered opposite the British Embassy on Avenue d'Auderghem for speeches, a minute's silence and renditions of Ode to Joy and Auld Lang Syne. Our reporter Kate Havrlik was there.

Humans of Brussels: An Indian in Brussels lovingly restoring a neglected Victor Horta house

Nupur Tron fell in love with an Art Nouveau jewel designed by Victor Horta, the Frison House, promptly bought it and has spent two years painstakingly restoring it - while using it as the venue for an ambitious cross-cultural programme to bring Indian and Belgian cultures together.
