Hundreds of people turned out for a candlelit vigil in Derry to remember those who sadly lost their lives in the gas explosion in Creeslough at the weekend.
The vigil took place on Monday evening and was led by Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District, Councillor Sandra Duffy.
Mayor Duffy was joined by the Allegri and Rosemount Male Voice Choirs.
