Caroline Lucas said: "What a heart wrenching video, it has me in floods of tears.
"Amazing voice and heartfelt tribute to his beautiful granddaughter. Such a cruel world where sinister things happen to a close knit loving family.
"My thoughts are with you all."
A huge search operation was sparked after Becky vanished from her family home in Crown Hill, Bristol on February 19.
Weeks later her body parts were found at a house in Barton Hill, Bristol on March 2.
Her stepbrother Nathan Matthews, 28, was charged with murder.
Hundreds of people today braved the rain to take part in a march across Bristol's city centre to raise money in her memory.
Members of Becky's family wore t-shirts and badges featuring a picture of the teenager and released colourful balloons.
Speaking after the march, Becky's grandfather said his shy granddaughter would have been touched by the event.
"I really think she would have loved it," he said.
"I'm sure that if she's looking down on us now that she's saying 'I am pleased, thank you'."
While Becky's father Darren Galsworthy said his daughter would have been amazed by the support.
"It's an amazing turnout, it's amazing the support they've got for my Becky who was so shy and retiring," Mr Galsworthy said.
"If she could see this happening now... On a horrible day like this, hundreds and hundreds of people have turned out.
"This young, shy, reserved child who lost her life so tragically and it has hurt us all but it's touched everyone's hearts around the world.
"I've been getting messages from Australia and New Zealand, Africa, China - it's gone absolutely global.
"People recognise us, they come up to us and hug us. I've had seven foot tall men come up to me crying, hugging me and wishing us the best."
Mr Galsworthy was supported at the event by Becky's stepmother, Anjie, the mother of Matthews.
Money from the event will go towards funeral costs and to support Becky's family, who plan to set up a foundation.
