Officials from Hungary and South Korea held a minute's silence and threw white flowers onto the waters of the Danube to mark the first anniversary of a boat accident which killed 25 South Korean tourists and two Hungarian crew.

Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony was joined by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and South Korean Ambassador Kyoo Sik Choe for the ceremony on the embankment."For those families who had a piece broken off their hearts ... it perhaps feels as if this all happened just yesterday," Karacsony said."We share their pain."

"No such accident had occurred in 75 years until in 2019. Everyone was shocked that such a dramatic event could happen in what is a well regulated form of transport," Toth said.
