"It was so quiet and impromptu; just for a moment everyone was still. It was very emotional," Reverend Anna Macham told The Guardian.

"I was so shocked by events this week and I wanted to stand alongside my Muslim sisters and show that what unites us is greater than what divides us."

Powerful images of the vigil were shared widely on social media, where it has received plenty of attention despite the quietness of the gathering.

"Had no idea our low key solidarity event would make front page. Was a very moving tribute to victims," participant Akeela Ahmed said on Twitter.
