Hundreds of people have marched in silence through the frosty streets of the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana to honour the victims of a fatal New Year’s Eve bar fire.
Following a church mass that spilled outdoors, the teary-eyed crowd slowly walked towards a shrine next to the “Le Constellation” bar for the 40 victims killed and around 119 people injured.
CEO of Crans-Montana Tourism Bruni Huggler said it was an important moment to get together and exchange support for each other, along with thanking the rescue team for their efforts.
Authorities have put the two people who ran the bar under investigation on suspicion of crimes including homicide by negligence.
