As the ceremony begins, people gather in front of a pile of flowers and messages left at a memorial to commemorate the victims of the mass shooting at a Jewish festival on Sydney’s Bondi Beach on December 14, one week earlier, which left 15 people dead and 42 more wounded. Exactly a week after the first reports of gunfire at 6:47 pm (0747 GMT), Australians will fall silent for a minute on a national day of reflection with the theme „light over darkness“. IMAGES
