Thousands march to pay tribute to Jill Meagher

It took superhuman effort to talk at all in the face of such appalling tragedy, but Edith McKeon somehow found the strength to thank the thousands that turned out in support of her murdered daughter.

Having travelled almost 3,500km from Perth to Melbourne to take part in a peace march in memory of 29-year-old Jill Meagher, Ms McKeon thanked the public for their support over the past number of days.

“I would like to thank the huge support here in Melbourne, it’s just been unbelievable. Just thank you, simply thank you,” she said.
