UP to 150 people attended a graveside gathering in support of a west Belfast family who have been ordered to remove a headstone.
The family had invited supporters to congregate at the grave of young mum Emma Nolan.
The 23-year-old died almost a year ago after a battle with alcohol addiction.
Yesterday marked a 28-day deadline to remove the pink butterfly-shaped headstone from Hannahstown Cemetery for "non-compliance" with cemetery rules.
An online group backing efforts to keep the headstone in place has gained more than 3,000 members.
Emma's mother Loretta Nolan said there had been a "lovely turnout" and it had been "a peaceful gathering".
She said: "I thanked everyone for coming and for their support.
"We are not taking down the headstone. It is going to remain there.
"We have never been given any reason as to why it doesn't fit the criteria."
She said the family will be consulting with a solicitor with a view to taking out an injunction order.
The family of murdered boxer Eamonn Magee Jnr (22) were also told last month to remove his boxing glove-shaped headstone from the cemetery. They too plan to resist the move.
The Parish of Hannahstown Cemetery Committee said a number of people had been asked to remove headstones erected "without approval" and in breach of regulations.
It expressed regret over distress caused but said the rules are to ensure memorials are "suitable for the setting and that the dignity of the cemetery is maintained".
