The Pulse nightclub victims were remembered early Monday -- the first anniversary of the mass shooting -- by 49 people dressed as angels.

Each angel walked in silently and surrounded the club ... each representing someone who was fatally shot by Omar Mateen in the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history.

Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.

The angels appeared shortly after 1 AM Monday. Mateen had entered the club and opened fire shortly after 2 AM a year ago.
