Family members of those who died in last month's plane crash at Cork Airport, along with several of the survivors, attended a special ecumenical service at the North Cathedral in Cork city this afternoon.
The Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, Paul Colton, said it was truly a day of mixed emotions.
Organised by the Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Michael O'Connell, and the Mayor of County Cork, Kevin Murphy, it was attended by over 400 people.
Families of the deceased were present, among them Anne Marie McAleese, widow of Brendan McAleese, and John and Ann Cantle, parents of co-pilot Andrew Cantle.
Mr McAleese and Mr Cantle were two of the six men killed in the plane crash.
Among the six survivors to attend today's ecumenical service were 31-year-old Peter Cowley, from Glanmire in Co Cork, Lawrence Wilson, from Larne in Co Antrim, and Mark Dickens, from Kent in England.
Speaking before the ceremony, Mr Dickens said he had wanted to travel in order to pay his respects to the families of those who had died.
He admitted that travelling to Cork had been difficult as he did not want to fly.
Mr Dickens declined to comment on the preliminary report of the Air Accident Investigation Unit published last week, saying it would not be appropriate in light of what was taking place today.
The service was conducted by the Bishop of Cork & Ross, Dr John Buckley, Bishop Colton and representatives of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches in Cork.
The Spanish and British ambassadors were in attendance.
Members of the city and county's emergency services, gardaí, and airport and hospital staff also attended, many taking part in it.
