Love is pouring into Orlando from around the world—including some 4,000 miles away in London. Among those to gather at a vigil in the city's Soho district Monday—in memory of those killed at Pulse nightclub—was the London Gay Men's Chorus, which performed a moving rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that "will send shivers down your spine," per Mashable. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, in attendance along with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, described a "sense of solidarity," per the Telegraph. "Love, in the end, defeats this crime, because it's stronger," he said. (More Pulse Orlando shooting stories.)
