Emotional day of remembrance

SIMPLE yet highly poignant memorial events in the Netherlands, Australia and Ukraine were held on July 17, a year to the day the precious lives of 298 passengers and crew aboard MAS Flight MH17 were tragically lost when the aircraft was blown out of the skies above rebel-held eastern Ukraine.

In Nieuwegein, the Netherlands, a moving commemoration service for the victims was organised by family members, friends and sympathisers of the victims.
