1400 people, including relatives of victims, rescue workers, senior politicians from several countries attended a memorial service in Cologne today, which had elements of a state funeral. Some people argued whether there should be 149 candles or 150, yet the catholic cardinal insisted there were 150 victims, and that he's not the one to judge. I'm usually sceptical to priests and the like, but forgiving is probably a sensible way to deal with such tragedies, for those affected.
