Hundreds are gathering on Auckland's Federal St on Wednesday evening for a candlelit vigil in memory of Grace Millane.

The 22-year-old English tourist's body was found in the Waitākere Ranges on Sunday, a week after she was last seen at a Queen St hotel.

A 26-year-old man has been charged with her murder.

Vigils have been planned up and down the country, from Nelson to Blenheim. They will honour the life of Ms Millane, as well as other women killed by violence in New Zealand this year.

The Federal St vigil is the second central Auckland gathering honouring Ms Millane on Wednesday, after a vigil at St Patrick's Cathedral Square organised by anti-violence organisation White Ribbon.

Ms Millane's father David issued a moving statement earlier in the day, thanking New Zealanders for their "outpouring of love" for his daughter.
