The parents of the youngest victim of the Bondi massacre were seen dancing at a vigil for the victims on Sunday night. 

Matilda, 10, had been at a Jewish festival celebrating the first night of Hanukkah near Bondi Beach Pavilion on December 14.

She had just had her face painted and was playing with farm animals at a petting zoo with her six-year-old sister when the shooting began. 

Alleged gunman Naveed Akram and his father, Sajid Akram, are accused of killing 15 people at the family event and injuring dozens more.

Matilda was shot in front of her little sister. She was rushed to hospital but couldn’t be saved.

On Sunday night Australia held a minute of silence to mark the moment police first started receiving calls of the shooting at 6.47pm a week earlier. 

Matilda’s parents were among the crowd at Bondi Beach, estimated to be 15,000 strong.

In honour of his lost daughter, Matilda’s father wore a kippah decorated with bee stripes – a tribute to his daughter’s middle name.

One of the most touching moments of the remembrance event near Bondi Pavilion on Sunday was David Campbell’s performance of Waltzing Matilda.

Matilda’s parents danced to the song bearing their daughter’s name while thousands around them grieved the shooting that cruelly took so many innocent lives.

On top of the thousands applauding in-person, dozens of Aussies took to social media to praise Campbell’s emotional performance.

‘Very touching tribute by David Campbell singing Waltzing Matilda in honour of little Matilda, who unfortunately lost her life in the Bondi tragedy,’ one person wrote.

‘Geez, I love David Campbell,’ another said.

‘Bravo David Campbell for that Waltzing Matilda. Chills,’ another person wrote.

The candlelight vigil event near Bondi Pavilion was part of a national Day of Reflection.

At 6.47pm, millions of Australians around the country held a minute of silence along with those who attended the vigil at Bondi Beach.

An estimated 15,000 people turned up to the vigil in support of the victims and their loved ones, like Matilda’s parents

Michelle Goldman, chief executive of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, lit the first candle for the vigil at Bondi and started the minute’s silence.

The silence was broken by Australian Jewish musician Ben Adler who performed the national anthem.

As the music was continued by several musicians – including David Campbell, a montage showed images of the 15 victims and the thousands of flowers left at the scene of the massacre.

Those victims were Boris and Sofia Gurman, Rabbi Eli Schlanger, Edith Brutman, Adam Smyth, Boris Tetleroyd, Marika Pogany, 10-year-old Matilda, Peter Meagher, Dan Elkayam, Reuven Morrison, Tibor Weitzen, Alexander Kleytman, Rabbi Yaakov Levitan, and Tania Tretiak.
