After the vigil, activists read excerpts from Paul Caruana Galizia’s book A Death in Malta alongside pieces from Daphne’s own hard-hitting articles.
Diplomatic representatives from the British, Irish, French, German, and American embassies laid flowers at the site, symbolising ongoing support for justice.
The day’s tributes continue with a mass in suffrage for Daphne at 6pm, followed by a march and vigil in Valletta at 7pm.
Will you be attending the march and vigil tonight?
