Vigils have been held in Orlando, Florida, and around the world for the victims of Sunday's deadly gun attack on a gay nightclub.
A Muslim cleric told those attending the Orlando event that Muslims stood united with them against "the ideology of hatred, death and destruction".
Similar gatherings have been held in countries including France, Australia, the UK and Germany.
The attack on Orlando's Pulse nightclub left 49 people dead and dozens wounded.
US authorities say gunman Omar Mateen pledged allegiance to so-called Islamic State (IS) shortly before the attack.
President Barack Obama is due to travel to Orlando on Thursday to pay his respects to the victims.
