University staff and students braved the wet weather and walked more than 100m from the library to the Canham Turner building as part of a solidarity march.

The second year Philosophy and Religion student's parents did not attend the event but gave their full backing and support to the event. 

It was also confirmed that Libby's close friends has returned to their respective homes for personal reasons and they also didn't attend the event.  

Osaro Otabo, the president of Hull University's student union, and Professor Susan Lea, the vice-chancellor at the university, addressed students this evening after the 21-year-old went missing. 

Speaking to members of the press before the solidarity event, students union president Osaro Otabo admitted there was 'concern' amongst the student body following Libby's disappearance.

She said: 'As you said it is still unexplained so we don't know what has happened so I would not want to speculate.

'From my personal perspective there is a concern but I want to do anything I can while in my position as president to help the police in the investigation.

'If that means sharing on social media that police put out or putting on an event like this tonight.'

Posters with the hastag HelpFindLibby were spotted along the march which have been handed out by students on campus as the search entered its fifth day.

Vice chancellor professor Susan Lea told those in attendance: 'We come together this evening to express our deep concern about Libby.

'Libby is a Philosphy student here at the university of Hull and one of our community.

'I have to say we have been deeply moved by the way in which both our students and local community have come together in support of one another and to help to try and find Libby.

'This event this evening is part of that support and solidarity to show support and solidarity for Libby, for Libby's parents, for Libby's friends, for Libby's family and indeed for one another.

'I just wanted to thank you very much for all that you have been doing to help to try and find Libby.'

Students union president Miss Otabo added: 'It's amazing to see so many people here today to show support to help find Libby.

'One of the amazing things I can see if the amount of studfenty support that hads come out. Students want to do something, they want to help the police in anyway they can with the investigation.

'You saw that this weekend with the search party.

'This real sense of community is something I think is quite special here in Hull and I hope everyone knows that support is always here.'   

Some older women were seen holding sheets of paper with Ms Squire's face on, urging for anyone with information on her whereabouts to come forward. 

Professor Lea was seen holding a placard with the hashtag #HelpFindLibby as the campaign to drum up social media support to aid the search continues. 

Libby Squire's mother today shared a heartbreaking Facebook post thanking the public for trying to find her daughter.
