New polling by YouGov has revealed the public feeling on whether the vigil for Sarah Everard should have happened during the pandemic.
Some 43% of Britons said it should not have gone ahead, while 40% said it should.
Women were split in opinion, with 42% saying it should have been allowed and 39% saying it should not. Men were less likely to back the gathering, saying it should not have been allowed by 47% to 38%.
Older generations were also less likely to think it should have gone ahead. While half of 18 to 24-year-olds (52%) said police should have approved the vigil, 52-55% of over 50s said they should not.
