About 15,000 people have turned up to Fosyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin tonight to pay their respects to those affected by the Christchurch terror attacks. The huge crowd of people started marching to the stadium from the university about 5.30pm. By the time the whole queue had entered the stadium and others had arrived for the vigil there appeared to be over 15,000 in attendance. This was then followed by a waiata by the Otago University Maori Students Association and a prayer by Sheikh Asrarul Haque Obaidullah. The flowers, the food, the songs, the hugs, the kind words...show me and our community that we are loved," he said.
