Thousands of people have gathered in Londonderry tonight for a vigil in memory of mother-of-two Amy Doherty, who was murdered last weekend.

People gathered at the Guildhall tonight carrying flowers and purple balloons, hours after a man appeared in court charged with Ms Doherty’s murder.

Women stood at the steps of the Guildhall, behind a line of candles and flowers, carrying photos of female victims of violence.
