The world is still reeling from the shocking and devastating attack on Pulse nightclub in Orlando, which left 50 dead and many more injured over the weekend.
Last night hundreds gathered by City Hall to expresses their condolences for the lives lost, the families affected, and to show solidarity with the LGBT community across the globe. The event was organised by GLEN, TENI and BelongTo.
