A Belfast artist is remembering those who've taken their own in life in Northern Ireland since the end of the Troubles.
Ro Owens will stitch 600 pieces of thread onto 50 metres of white cotton to represent some of those who've died.

Ro hopes her work will help raise awareness:
She'll start working on the fabric tomorrow at the Framewerk Gallery in Belfast:
