A touching tribute.

When something as horrific as this happens, it is extremely hard to be positive, but the support the world has shown to those affected by the Orlando tragedy is something to be proud of.

Buildings all over the world turned rainbow-coloured to show solidarity.

Landmarks such as Belfast City Hall, The Eiffel Tower and Niagara Falls all reflected the horror at the biggest mass shooting in US history.

The rainbow flag has long been used by the LGBT community to celebrate diversity and pride.
