Spain remembers the dead a week on from rail tragedy

People in the southern Spanish towns of Huelva and Adamuz held ceremonies Sunday a week on from the rail disaster that killed 45 people, many of them from the area.

Last Sunday's crash between two high-speed trains happened near the village of Adamuz in the southern region of Andalusia, but most of the victims came from Huelva.

The ceremony in Huelva began with a minute's silence, at 7:43 pm, the time of the accident.

It was from Huelva that one of the trains in the disaster started its journey, and it accounted for 36 of the dead.

The Huelva-Madrid train collided head-on with a train travelling from Madrid on route to Malaga. As well as those killed, 22 people are still being treated in hospital for injuries.
