Where were you when Benazir Bhutto died in Rawalpindi on this day 14 years ago?

Many recounted their memories of not just her assassination but of her life and legacy.

Her children shared images of their mother and the vacuum she left in their lives as well as the country's.

Her son Bilawal, who shares the reins of the Pakistan Peoples Party with his father, had a simple message in his tweet.

Her elder daughter Bakhtawar, however, chose a more personalized message, expressing just how much she missed her mother.

The youngest daughter Aseefa retweeted both her siblings messages.

The PPP organizes memorials for the former two time prime minister at the Bhutto mausoleum in Garhi Khuda Bux, the ancestral home of the Bhutto family where Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his three children are buried.

Her children Bilawal and Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari are expected to address the rally as are PPP leaders like Nisar Ahmed Khuhro and Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah as well as others.

The PPP also said they will screen a documentary on their leader which will be shown at rallies across the country's provinces where similar memorial rallies are being held.

Scores of social media users turned to Twitter to remember Benazir sharing quotes, images and memories under hashtags Woh Larki Thi Qalandar Thi, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto as well as 27 December Black Day.

One user shared a short video of Benazir talking about her time in solitary confinement.

Some beautiful images with quotes about how they saw her as a fearless leader.

PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz also shared images and paid her respects about her legacy.

Some also shared videos in which they paid tribute to the sacrifices made by the family for the sake of democracy.

Benazir's assassination and the many unanswered questions around it also featured as a topic on this day.

Hamid Mir said three prime ministers murders and deaths remain unresolved.

Zaid Hamid, often seen as a conspiracy theorist, had his own theories about who was responsible for her murder.

Former senator Rehman Malik, who has a new book about BB and was present when she was killed, re-shared a video interview he gave to Geo discussing the murder investigation.

While many shared video snippets of her last speech in Liaquat Bagh, saying she is still missed.
