On Friday night, as news broke that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died at age 87, mourners flocked to the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. As The Washington Post reports, by 9:30 p.m., there were at least 1,000 in the crowd, songs and applause ringing out from time to time.

Ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the high court and a legal pioneer for gender equality, was honored with posters; white flowers were placed on the courthouse steps. We gathered images of the scene on Friday night and Saturday morning. Scroll through them below.
