Thousands of mourners have attended a memorial service for victims of last week’s bus crash in a Swiss tunnel that killed 22 children and six adults.

A torchlight march, ravioli and meatball dinners, rides in a funicular railway, A singalong and a dress-up casino evening were some of the things that made a fateful Swiss Alps trip “mega-cool” for 24 Belgian schoolchildren.

A tourist bus that slammed into a concrete wall in a Swiss Alps tunnel, killing 28 people, was not speeding, Swiss police have said.

Twenty-eight people, 22 of them children, were killed when a bus taking Belgian pupils back from a skiing holiday crashed in a Swiss tunnel, police said today.
