Great to see.

Hundreds of people turned out in Dublin City Hall on Monday evening for a silent vigil in memory of the victims of the Orlando massacre at the weekend.

The vigil in Dublin was replicated around the world in a powerful show of solidarity after the tragic events in the early hours of Sunday morning, when 49 people were killed and 53 wounded after a gunman opened fire in a LGBT nightclub in Orlando.

Songs were sung and LGBT flags were waved by many of those in attendance in what was a really heartwarming response to such a tragic set of events.
