SEOUL: Survivors of South Korea’s Sewol ferry mishap, carrying 250 roses representing their friends who died, graduated from their high school on Tuesday at an emotional, low-key ceremony.

The Sewol was carrying 476 people when it sank off the southwestern island of Jindo in April 2014, with the loss of 304 lives.
