A national day of reflection is being held on Sunday in Australia, one week on from the Bondi Beach shooting which killed 15 people.

A minute’s silence will be observed at 18:47 (07:47 GMT), the time when the attack began – you can watch the memorial live at the top of this page.

The shooting, in which two gunmen opened fire at a Jewish festival has been declared a terrorist incident. Police say the attackers were inspired by “Islamic State ideology”.

Earlier on Sunday, Governor-General Samantha Mostyn addressed a vigil held in Bondi, hosted by the National Council of Jewish Women Australia, where attendees largely wore white to symbolise peace.

“The entire Jewish community, whether it’s here in Bondi or across our nation, you are part of the belonging story and the success of this country,” she said.
