On Tuesday, the Hynes Convention Center was packed with Bostonians and spectators from around the country all paying homage to the victims of last year’s Boston Marathon bombings. Reflective remarks were posited by Mayor Marty Walsh, former-Mayor Tom Menino, Governor Deval Patrick and Vice President Joe Biden, as well as by some of those who survived last year’s attack.

Those who spoke discussed Boston’s unwavering resolve, its exemplification of the mantra Boston Strong and its refusal to adhere to adversity. Those who passed away from the dual pressure cooker bombs that combusted on Boylston street may be gone, but they, along with the 264 injured, will not be forgotten.

Space was limited due to the overwhelming outpour of interest and support, so in case you were unable to catch what some of the tribute on TV or via live stream, here’s a video recap.
