Mourners for Nelson Mandela gathered in Huddersfield town centre to hold a vigil.
The former South African president was buried yesterday at his ancestral home, Qunu, the rural village in the Eastern Cape,10 days after he died.
At 3.51pm yesterday a small crowd came together at Nelson Mandela Corner, behind the central library, to pay tribute to the former leader.
As the sun went down they remained at the vigil for 95 minutes, in recognition of the age of the visionary anti-apartheid fighter.
The event featured speakers including anti-apartheid campaigners and church ministers, Jane and Steve Day, along with musical performances.
Tim Padmore, one of the organisers, said a collection of community leaders, including the Huddersfield African Caribbean Cultural Trust, had come together to organise the vigil.
He said: “Some people will be feeling mourning for Nelson Mandela and there are people from South Africa here in Huddersfield.
“We wanted to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela and reflect on what he stood for and what we can do with our lives to continue his vision.”
