Remembrance services are being held in the city today.
About 50 people attended the dua service, also known as a prayer service, which was held by the Muslim Association of Canterbury.
The dua - or prayer - was read out by imam Gamal Fouda, who prayed for those who lost their lives in the massacre.
He said the attack had ultimately failed and the terror attack did not succeed in breaking the country.
