Ferry victims' families pay tribute

On eve of anniversary, relatives cast flowers onto the sea where capsized ship claimed 304 lives

More than 100 relatives of victims of South Korea's Sewol ferry disaster tearfully cast flowers into the sea on Wednesday at an emotional memorial event on the eve of the tragedy's anniversary.

In bright sunshine and on a calm sea, the relatives were taken by boat to the large yellow buoy that marks the site where the ferry sank on April 16 last year with the loss of 304 lives - most of them high school students.
