A group of Muslim women linked hands to form a human chain over Westminster Bridge this weekend, in a show of solidarity with the victims of the terror attack that took place there on Wednesday.
The women, who were there with their daughters, friends, families and supporters, held hands and observed a five-minute silence as Big Ben struck 4pm.
They stood in the spot where Khalid Masood drove his car into a crowd of pedestrians on Wednesday afternoon, killing three people and injuring 50 others.
He went onto stab and kill a police office outside the Houses of Parliament, before being shot dead by armed officers.
The show of solidarity was organised by the Women's March on London. Many participants wore blue, to symbolise hope.
"When an attack happens in London, it is an attack on me. It is an attack on all of us," Sarah Waseem, who attended the vigil told the Huffington Post.
"Islam totally condemns violence of any sort. This is abhorrent to us."
"The feeling of what happened here on Wednesday was really strong," said another of the event's participants, Fariha Khan.
"We thought of the ordinary people who were here and were mown down, standing here like this, it was very overwhelming."
The event comes after a photo of a woman wearing a hijab on Westminster Bridge went viral on social media.
The unnamed woman was pictured passing a victim in the aftermath of Wednesday's attack. Some people criticised what they perceived as her indifferent attitude to what was happening around her.
However others, including the man who took the photo, said she looked very distressed; many commentators also noted that the attempt to analyse the woman in the photo was motivated by xenophobia.
"Not only have I been devastated by witnessing the aftermath of a shocking and numbing terror attack, I've also had to deal with the shock of finding my picture plastered all over social media by those who could not look beyond my attire, who draw conclusions based on hate and xenophobia," the woman involved told Tell MAMA, an organisation that monitors anti-Muslim attacks, after she made headlines around the world.
"My thoughts at that moment were one of sadness, fear, and concern."
The Met Police said this weekend that they believed Masood acted alone in Wednesday's attack but were still investigating to see whether he was influenced by terrorist propaganda.
The so-called Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attack, branding Masood "a soldier of Islamic State".
