A memorial ceremony took place in Lockerbie to remember the 270 people killed the Lockerbie bombing 30 years ago. 11 people died in Lockerbie along with the 259 passengers and crew on board the New York-bound Pan Am Flight 103 when it came down on the night of December 21, 1988. The Queen's representative, Lord Lieutenant for Dumfriesshire Fiona Armstrong, laid the first tribute in Dryfesdale Cemetery, attended by the families of victims, politicians and local community groups. Prayers were read and a series of silences held before wreaths were laid at the base of a memorial containing the names of all 270 victims of the tragedy.
