Sarah Everard has been described as “beautiful, thoughtful and incredibly kind”
The ‘Derry Vigil for Sarah Everard – Reclaim the Streets’ has been organised by Alliance for Choice Derry and will involve individual acts of remembrance and will not be a gathering.
Ms Everard was last seen while walking to her home from a friend’s flat in south London on Wednesday, March 3.
The 33-year-old disappeared during the walk to her home in Brixton. She was last seen on a doorbell camera at around 9.30pm.
A 48-year-old Metropolitan Police officer has been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and murdering Sarah Everard.
Detectives investigating her disappearance discovered human remains on Wednesday night of this week – which have not yet been identified – in a woodland in Ashford, in Kent.
A vigil will be held this weekend in London for Sarah Everard and several others will be held across Northern Ireland including in Derry city centre and at Portstewart bandstand.
Alliance for Choice Derry took to social media to urge people: “Leave a candle at the Guildhall steps or on social media any time after 6pm on Saturday, March 13, to honour Sarah and all victims of gender-based violence.
“Please note this is not a gathering – this is about women’s safety so wear a mask and practice social distancing should others arrive to pay respects at the same time as you.
