The lone policewoman who ended a mass knife attack by shooting down a deranged killer has appeared at a vigil for the massacre's victims.
Inspector Amy Scott fatally shot Joel Cauchi, 40, during his rampage at Sydney's Westfield Bondi Junction on April 13, that killed six and injured a dozen more.
On Sunday, she gathered with tearful mourners at a moving candlelight vigil to remember those who lost their lives.
Groups of young people were seen crying and clutching knitted teddy bears at Bondi Beach's Dolphin Court as the event began at 5pm.
The state government and Waverley Council organised the candlelight vigil to mourn the attack that shocked the nation.

Thousands gathered at the sunset vigil and held a one-minute silence to honour those lost.
Hero cop, Inspector Amy Scott, was met with hugs from her colleagues as she arrived at the event.
She chased down the knifeman and shot him dead before he could injure anyone else.
Crowds of young people were seen embracing and wiping away tears as the vigil got underway.
The crowd heard from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as he expressed his sympathy for the victims' loved ones.
'We are with you as a community, as a country today, tomorrow and always,' he said.
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns also spoke at the event, noting Cauchi seemingly targeted women during the horrific stabbing.
'We will not be a state where a woman is forced to changed their behaviour,' he said.
On Saturday the premier shared a similar message, saying: 'I think if we can stand together during the difficult periods, we can send a message that there are far more good people in this city than there are bad actors and there is evil.'

'Those that have lost loved ones have said unanimously that they can feel the community support behind them and that they know that they're not alone.'
Mr Minns said the vigil would be an opportunity to 'stand by those that have lost loved ones and remember those that have been killed'.
Among those killed in the attack was security guard Faraz Tahir.
Mr Tahir, who had come to Australia after fleeing persecution in Pakistan, was killed attempting to protect shoppers from Cauchi.
'He is not just a hero for us but the whole nation,' Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association national president Adnan Qadir said.
'We are here in large numbers to carry on Faraz's legacy by reflecting on his bravery, courage, and giving strength to our youth that they too must always be ready to serve others and, most importantly, this beautiful country.'
Five of the six people killed were women - Ashlee Good, 38, Dawn Singleton, 25, Jade Young, 47, Pikria Darchia, 55, and Yixuan Cheng, 27.
