21 poignant pictures as Women's Aid vigil in Lurgan remembers Natalie McNally, Katie Simpson and 22 other women murdered in Northern Ireland

The names of 24 women murdered in Northern Ireland were read out at a poignant vigil in Lurgan on Tuesday night.

Among the large crowd were the family of Lurgan woman Natalie McNally who was murdered in December 2022. Friends of Laura Marshall, another woman killed in Lurgan, were also in attendance as was the family of Katie Simpson.

These photos by Tony Hendron show some of the many who gathered together to honour their memory and to call for stronger action in eliminating violence against women and girls.
