ORLANDO, Fla. — Pulse said it will be holding its annual remembrance ceremony virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Officials said the ceremony will be held June 12 at 7 p.m. on Facebook and YouTube.

The ceremony will honor the 49 people who were killed at the nightclub, along with survivors and first responders.

The annual remembrance ceremony brings together the families of those whose lives were tragically taken and provides them a space to remember their loved ones.

Officials said more information will be provided at a later time.
