Thousands of people descended on Soho in London this evening for a vigil to honour the victims of the Orlando shooting.
The vigil is one of many events held in response to the massacre at Pulse nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning which left 49 people dead and 53 injured.
Amongst those in attendance were Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson.
The Labour leader told metro.co.uk reporter Simon Robb that the vigil was the ‘best response’.
‘I’m shocked and appalled at what happened,’ he said.
‘Disgusted at the attack. An attack of lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
‘We have to show that we want to live in a world that’s tolerant and inclusive of all people.’
Mr Watson , the deputy leader added: ‘You cannot let such targeted hate take away our humanity.
‘We are here to give our support to the LGBT community..to say we are not standing for it.’
