Organised by local group The Highlands Support Refugees, a vigil for Ukraine took place at Falcon Square on Saturday.
Dozens turned up to show their support to Ukrainians who are currently being killed and displaced after Russia declared war on them on February 24.
Organiser Anne Thomas put up a post in thanks of supporters: "Thanks everyone for coming. I'm so glad we were able to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and also glad so many Ukrainians came along."
It comes as local efforts are being co-ordinated to assist with what is feared to be an incoming major refugee crisis as people flee the region.
Many are accepting donations of goods like clothing and tents to be shipped out to Ukraine and surrounding countries.
The Polish Support Group Inverness are appealing for donations of mattresses, clothes, shoes, sanitary items and nappies which will be taken to Aberdeen and then onto Poland.
The first lorry will be leaving tomorrow and donations can be dropped off at Touch of Poland at 47-49 Tomnahurich Street.
Local reaction to the crisis will be captured in tomorrow's Inverness Courier.
