WATCH: Families and survivors of Dunblane massacre send message of solidarity to those impacted by Parkland shooting

Relatives of the 16 children and teacher killed in the Dunblane massacre have sent a message of support to the US school where a mass shooting happened last month.

On the 22nd anniversary of the shootings in Dunblane, survivors and families are standing in solidarity with pupils at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida where 17 people died in the Valentine's Day massacre.

In Scotland the children - aged just five and six - and teacher Gwen Mayor were murdered by gunman Thomas Hamilton when he opened fire on a gym class at Dunblane Primary School on March 13, 1996.

The massacre in the Stirlingshire town shocked the nation and led to the UK enforcing some of the strictest firearms legislation in the world.

The families in Dunblane have also posted a video of relatives, including siblings and parents of those killed, reading the letter on the Dunblane Stands with Parkland Facebook page on the "most poignant'' day of the year for those in the Scottish town.

The shootings in the US have sparked a public outcry, with students meeting President Donald Trump and organising marches demanding tighter gun controls.

Those in Dunblane say they will light 17 candles on Tuesday evening to remember those who lost their lives in the 1996 massacre, and will also think of those who died in Parkland
