The private gathering at Orlando's Pulse nightclub at 2:02 a.m. ET was the first in a series of events at which victims' names will be memorialized with performances, prayers and candlelight vigils across the country on "Orlando United Day." The "angels" first appeared in the wake of the tragedy to protect and support family and friends of the victims. There will also be two services at the nightclub: one midday and a final, music-filled late-night service. An exhibit of artwork collected from memorial sites set up around Orlando after the massacre will be shown at the Orange County History Center.
