Christmas lights have been turned off and a candlelight vigil was held in the Australian town where five children died after falling from a bouncy castle that was lifted into the air by a gust of wind.

Three children were still in a critical condition in hospital and one child was discharged after the incident on Thursday in the island state of Tasmania.
