Families remember Bali victims

Victims of the Bali bombs are being remembered on the the fifth anniversary of the attacks, which killed 202 people, including 28 Britons.

Memorial services have already taken place in Bali and Australia for the blasts which were carried out by extremists on the Indonesian island on October 12, 2002.

Of those killed, 88 were Australian, 28 were British and others came from across the world including Indonesia, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Italy, Poland and Greece.

Tobias Ellwood, who lost his brother Jonathan, said: "We will all be thinking of our loved ones today."

A permanent memorial in honour of all 202 victims - a marble globe with 202 doves carved into it - was unveiled by the Prince of Wales in St James's Park a year ago.

In a statement to mark the anniversary, Australia's prime minister John Howard expressed his condolences to the families of the victims.

He said: "This atrocity is now forever a tragic chapter in our nation's story. Those who perpetrated the attacks sought to sow division and hatred.

"Instead the Bali bombings brought the peoples of Australia and Indonesia closer together."

People from 21 countries died when two bombs ripped through a bar and nightclub in the popular tourist area of Kuta in Bali.
