Hundreds of people have taken part in a march across Bristol city centre to raise money in the memory of teenager Becky Watts.
The 16-year-old vanished from her home in Crown Hill on 19 February, sparking a huge search operation in the city.
Police discovered Becky's body parts at a house in Barton Hill on 2 March and charged her stepbrother, Nathan Matthews, 28, with murder.
Members of her family wore t-shirts and badges featuring her picture and released balloons during the march.
Speaking after the event, Becky's father Darren Galsworthy said: "It's an amazing turnout, it's amazing the support they've got for my Becky who was so shy and retiring.
"If she could see this happening now... on a horrible day like this, hundreds and hundreds of people have turned out.
"This young, shy, reserved child who lost her life so tragically and it has hurt us all but it's touched everyone's hearts around the world."
Money raised from the event will go towards funeral costs and to support Becky's family, who plan to set up a foundation in her memory.
Mr Galsworthy added: "We're hoping to get a foundation in her name so we can help other families in similar situations.
"Hopefully we'll get our life back on track at some point.
"It's been hell, absolute hell. Luckily it has all drawn to a close now and we might be able to go home next week."
The family home has been the subject of forensic searches since Becky was reported missing on 20 February.
