[NEWS] Mass rallies for Norway victims.

Norwegians have been holding mass rallies across the country to remember the victims of Friday's twin attacks by Anders Behring Breivik.

Crown Prince Haakon told more than 100,000 people in Oslo that "tonight the streets are filled with love".

Earlier Mr Breivik appeared in court, accepting responsibility for the attacks but denying terrorism charges.

Police have reduced the death toll of the massacre at an island youth camp and bombing in Oslo from 93 to 76.

'Affected us all'

Scores of thousands of Norwegians poured on to the streets of the capital in the early evening, many of them raising up flowers in memory of the eight people killed in the Oslo blast and 68 now known to have died on the island of Utoeya.

Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg addressed them, saying: "By taking part, you are saying a resounding 'yes' to democracy."

He said this was a "march for democracy, a march for tolerance, a march for unity", adding: "Evil can kill a person but never conquer a people."

The streets of central Oslo were closed to accommodate the masses.

Crown Prince Haakon said: "Those who were in the government district and on Utoeya were targets for terror. But it has affected us all."

A short commemorative concert was held, after which the crowd sang the anti-Nazi hymn "For Youth".

One of those attending the rally, Jonas Waerstad, told Reuters: "We are a small society and I think that makes everyone feel affected, whether directly involved or not."

Earlier, at 1200 (1000 GMT), Mr Stoltenberg led the nation in a minute of silence for the victims.
