A moving tribute outside the Senedd this evening.

A speech by the chairman of the Muslim Council of Wales was followed by a minute of silence with lit candles and a round of applause to salute the memory of the people who were murdered.The vigil concluded with the crowd holding aloft pencils to defend the principle of freedom of speech and a closing speech by the Honorary Consul of France in Cardiff.

I was there with my partner too. Really touching and a great crowd for a freezing Sunday night at short notice, must've been around 1000 there.
