The vigil, held at the Guildhall, was one of many vigils held across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
Families held each other closer on Monday night as hundreds of people attended a vigil in Derry to pay their respects to the victims of the Creeslough tragedy.
One of the victims, Jessica Gallagher, was due to begin a new job in Belfast today. The Co Donegal woman had a promising career ahead, having studied fashion at the International Fashion Academy in Paris and in Shanghai. The Mayor of Derry and Strabane, Councillor Sandra Duffy, said the people of Derry were "heartbroken" at the events that had transpired in Co Donegal over the weekend.
"We have so many connections with Donegal. Derry and Donegal, North West City Region, we are just one people. I am just really glad that so many people have come out.
