Jo-Jo Cowley, who has organised the vigil, posted details on Facebook, saying: “On Friday 23rd February, a vigil will be held on Sea Mills Square for the communities of Bristol to come together and pay their respects to the three lives that have been lost.
“There will be a dedicated area to lay flowers, letters and candles to show your respects. We kindly ask you to only lay flowers out of packing to avoid pollution.”
People attending the vigil are asked to come on foot where possible to avoid a build up of traffic in the residential area.
A murder investigation into the deaths of the three children is ongoing.
Police said: “Forensic post-mortem examinations will be carried out on the children to establish the cause of death and it’s important we don’t give further detail on this until the proper processes have been carried out. The post-mortem examinations are not likely to be completed until the middle to the end of this week at the earliest.
“Uniformed officers from the Neighbourhood Policing team will continue to be present in the area in the coming days, so residents are able to raise any worries, issues or concerns, and some police cordons will remain in place until our enquiries at the scene conclude.
“We continue to treat this as an isolated incident with no ongoing risk posed to the local community.”
