Organisers of Westminster Abbey's candle-lit vigil hope other community buildings across the country will mirror the proceedings and that thousands of candles will be blown out simultaneously across the country at 11pm.

It is believed that a wide range of groups will be invited to the Westminster vigil including the Brownies, Scouts, Guides and representatives from all services of the British military.
