Netherlands marks day of mourning for MH17 victims

The king and queen of the Netherlands will lead mourners as the first victims of the Malaysia Airlines MH17 disaster are repatriated from the Ukraine today.

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima will be in Eindhoven with relatives of the 298 people – including 10 Britons – killed when the Boeing 777-200 was apparently shot down by Russia-backed separatists over eastern Ukraine on Thursday.
