Today’s grim anniversary will continue to be marked this afternoon and evening in Valletta.
At 6pm, a mass will be held at the capital’s Church of St Francis of Assisi.
Then, right after that, at around 7pm, a march will kick off from next to Valletta’s Wembley corner, coming to a head with a vigil at 7.30pm right in front of the Law Courts.
Will you be going to Valletta today?
