Families have offered flowers, dolls, popcorn and juice boxes to children killed at a day care centre in Thailand as part of a Buddhist ceremony held on Sunday that was meant to guide the young souls back to their bodies.

“Come back home” and “come back with us”, the relatives called into the empty day care centre, many with tears in their eyes.
